TLDR
A multilevel meta-regression analysis was conducted to summarize the effects of different strategies employed in surveys of health professionals, finding the mail survey mode was more effective in improving RR, compared to the online or web survey mode.Abstract:
Surveys involving health care providers are characterized by low and declining response rates (RRs), and researchers have utilized various strategies to increase survey RRs among health professionals. Based on 48 studies with 156 subgroups of within-study conditions, a multilevel meta-regression analysis was conducted to summarize the effects of different strategies employed in surveys of health professionals. An estimated overall survey RR among health professionals was 0.53 with a significant downward trend during the last half century. Of the variables that were examined, mode of data collection, incentives, and number of follow-up attempts were all found to be significantly related to RR. The mail survey mode was more effective in improving RR, compared to the online or web survey mode. Relative to the non-incentive subgroups, subgroups receiving monetary incentives were more likely to respond, while nonmonetary incentive groups were not significantly different from non-incentive groups.

Response rates to mail surveys published in medical journals.
TL;DR: Although several mail survey techniques are associated with higher response rates, response rates to published mail surveys tend to be moderate, and investigators, journal editors, and readers should devote more attention to assessments of bias, and less to specific response rate thresholds.
