Summary A mail survey has been conducted to discover why certain hospital based health professionals did not reply to a previous mail survey. The results will assist in the design of future mail surveys for this group and may have a more general interest and applicability. Two return‐inducing techniques have been tested. Other such techniques, reported in the literature but untested in this study, are listed. The observed responses times are reported and some suggestions regarding timing are made.
