This scenario is an example of a callback, as the interviewer is returning to the same address to contact the same individual who was not available during the previous visit. A follow-up typically refers to a more general attempt to gather more information or confirm previous responses, while a probe is a specific question or technique used to obtain further information. Precall refers to a preliminary contact made before the actual survey or study begins.
