Abstract
This study used data from a random sample of Wisconsin nursing homes to analyze nursing homes' response to requests to participate in a field study. Multiple organizational characteristics predicted responsiveness. Facilities with greater financial resources were more likely to grant access to researchers. Stable administration and local facility control predicted higher response rates to a survey of nurses. Stable ownership and stable administration predicted higher resident consent rates.Keywords
