Abstract

A description is given of a study that was conducted by examining the characteristics of phone- owning households in the 1978 /79 Melbourne home interview survey. The characteristics of phone- owning and non- phone- owning households are compared with respect to socio- economic characteristics, and areas of potential bias in the survey results are identified.Differences in travel patterns are examined and ways in which such biases may be corrected are suggested.
