Interviewer effects in ELSA (retention rates) Mean (interviewer level) retention rate if the bottom 25% of interviewers had the same (mean) retention rate as the top 75%: 81.5%. This would make ELSA’s overall retention rate: 80.6%. Mean (interviewer level) retention rate if the bottom 25% of interviewers had the same (mean) retention rate as the top 75%: 85.2%. This would make ELSA’s overall retention rate: 84.3%.
