Due to the nature of the survey, the Research Unit decided that face-toface interviews were required to maximise the response rate. In view of the significance of the project, it was felt that the involvement of people with links to the Chinese Community in Derry/Londonderry was essential to enable access to and participation from this community. The questionnaire design, analysis and report writing were the responsibility of the <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Executive</strong>'s Research Unit. The content of the questionnaire was agreed in consultation with the Chinese Welfare Association and Western Investing for Health. The bilingual interviewers carried out face-to-face structured interviews between July and September 2006. The CWA's Sai Pak Project used its current database of membership to identify households for interview; in addition the Research Unit used a 'snowball 2 ' sampling technique to extend the CWA's known database. 1.6 Response Rate In total, 100 Chinese households were identified. The interviewers subsequently carried out 91 face-to-face interviews in the North West. Of the 91 households surveyed, 34 included an older Chinese person (aged 50 or older). As a general rule, if an interview had not been achieved on the first visit to an address, the fieldworker made at least three further attempts to interview the household. These visits were made at varying times of the day and also in the evenings. If, at the end of the fieldwork period, the fieldworker had been unable to contact a household member, the address was recorded as a non-contact. The research team was unable to contact only five households in total and four households refused to take part in the survey. 2 Snowball sampling involves identifying respondents who are then asked to refer researchers to other respondents. 9
