Since its origin 23 years ago as a pilot test conducted in four U.S. counties, the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) has been the focus of continuous research, development, and refinement. The survey cleared critical milestones 14 years ago when it began full-scale operations, including comprehensive nationwide coverage, and 5 years later when the ACS replaced a long-form sample questionnaire in the 2010 census as a source of detailed demographic and socioeconomic information. Throughout that existence and continuing today, ACS research and testing has worked to improve the survey's conduct in the face of challenges ranging from detailed and procedural to the broad and existential. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussion at the September 26â€"27, 2018, Workshop on Improving the American Community Survey (ACS), sponsored by the U.S. Census Bureau. Workshop participants explored uses of administrative records and third-party data to improve ACS operations and potential for boosting respondent participation through improved communication.

Communication in Everyday Life: A Survey of Communication offers an engaging introduction to communication based on the belief that communication and relationships are always interconnected. Best-selling authors Steve Duck and David T. McMahan incorporate this theme of a relational perspective and a focus on everyday communication to show the connections between concepts and how they can be understood through a shared perspective. Students will learn how topics in communication come together as part of a greater whole, as well as gain practical communication skills, from listening to critical thinking and using technology to communicate. The Fourth Edition includes enhancements to its proven pedagogical features that reflect updates in research, cultural and societal changes, and emerging issues.

The purpose of this dissertation is to identify ways to improve the effectiveness of the communication procedures used by the U.S. Bureau of the Census to elicit household self- responses to the American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS, which seeks responses from 3.5 million randomly sampled households each year, serves as the main source of information for comparing the characteristics of people across cities, states and regions of the United States. Although overall response rates to the ACS have not declined dramatically in recent years, as has been the case for many surveys, it now takes more effort at greater cost to get a sampled household to self-respond. In this dissertation, I note the shortcomings in the current process used by the Census Bureau to innovate the ACS methodology to gain self-response. I then review existing theories of human response behavior and utilize them to conduct a content analysis of five ACS mail communications. Based upon this analysis, and recommendations derived from relevant literatures, I proposed a revised sequence of communications for future testing against current communications efforts. It is hypothesized that use of this comprehensive redesign will improve the speed by which responses are obtained and lower data collection costs by reducing the amount of in-person follow-up interviews as well as increase participation from reluctant respondents, reducing non-response bias. These recommendations will apply directly to future ACS testing, but will also be applicable to government and non-government surveys that utilize a similar multi-mail-contact web-push methodology.

This book investigates the relationship between information communication and community development in China in the new media age, drawing on theoretical resources from journalism, communication, urban sociology, community management, and the activities of social movements. Contrasting existing scholarship that centers on new technologies and virtual aspects of today’s communication, the study highlights community residents’ daily praxis in real social spaces and the interaction between online and offline communications. Through content analysis, case studies, questionnaire surveys, and in-depth interviews, the author explores the social engagement of communication in public expressions and negotiations among Chinese urban communities. From micro, meso, and macro levels respectively, three interactive mechanisms are discussed: (1) media use and social consciousness and mobilization; (2) new media and changes in community governance; and (3) state-community interplay. Based on these mechanisms, the author proposes the idea of “the construction of grassroots social communication”, exploring approaches to the modernization of social governance and attainment of social interests by optimizing information communication. Communication and Community in the New Media Age will appeal to academics and students studying communication and social transition in China, new media and society, urban sociology, and public governance.
