背景和目标：比较全科医生（GP）的反应，以电话采访与响应的邮政调查与三个提醒ILL一个随机对照试验。方法：GP被随机分配到无论是电话采访或邮政调查。电话组中的全科医生被邮寄了一封邀请信，并被要求进行电话采访。邮政组的全科医生被邮寄了一封邀请信和调查问卷。未答复者最多收到三封催复通知。最后一封挂号信。响应率计算为每个group.Results：4 - 16全科医生被随机电话采访和45 - 1的邮政调查。电话组有86人，邮政组有30人不合格。134名全科医生完成了电话访谈，应答率为40.6%（95%置信区间101：35.3%，46.1%）。252名全科医生完成了邮寄调查，回复率为59.9%（95%CI：55.0%，64.6%）。反应差异为19.3%（95% CI：12.2%）。结论：这些结果表明，与电话访谈相比，三次提醒的邮政调查可以有上级响应率。(C)2006年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Background and Objectives: To compare general practitioner (GP) response to a telephone interview With response to a postal survey with three reminders ill a randomized controlled trial.Methods: GPs were randomly assigned to either a telephone interview or a postal survey. GPs in the telephone group were mailed a letter of invitation and asked to undertake a telephone interview. GPs in the postal group were mailed a letter of invitation and questionnaire. Non-responders were sent up to three reminders. the final by registered post. Response rates were calculated for each group.Results: 4 16 GPs were randomized to the telephone interview and 45 1 to the postal survey. Eighty-six in the telephone group and 30 ill the postal were ineligible. One hundred thirty-four GPs completed the telephone interview with a response rate of 40.6% (95% confidence interval 101: 35.3%, 46.1%). Two hundred fifty-two GPs completed the postal survey with a response rate of 59.9% (95% CI: 55.0%, 64.6%). The difference in response was 19.3% (95% CI: 12.2%. 26.3%).Conclusions: These results show that postal surveys with three reminders can have superior response rates compared with a telephone interview.
