研究人员使用协议来筛选在线研究中提交的可疑调查。我们评估了重复数据消除和交叉验证流程检测无效条目的效果。数据来自性暴露媒体研究,这是一项基于互联网的艾滋病毒预防调查,对象是男男性行为者。使用我们的协议,146(11.6%)的1254条目被确定为无效。大多数人表示更改筛选问卷以获得进入(n = 109,74.7%),匹配其他提交的付款资料(n = 56,41.8%),或具有以前记录的IP地址(n = 43,29.5%)。然而,我们发现有效和无效样本之间的人口统计学或行为差异很少。在过去一年中,无效提交报告艾滋病毒检测的几率较低(OR 0.63),与支票付款相比,要求不付款的几率较高(OR 2.75)。因此,如果不删除无效的提交材料,艾滋病毒检测率就会被低估,而付费可能不是无效参与的唯一激励因素。
Researchers use protocols to screen for suspicious survey submissions in online studies. We evaluated how well a de-duplication and cross-validation process detected invalid entries. Data were from the Sexually Explicit Media Study, an Internet-based HIV prevention survey of men who have sex with men. Using our protocol, 146 (11.6 %) of 1254 entries were identified as invalid. Most indicated changes to the screening questionnaire to gain entry (n = 109, 74.7 %), matched other submissions’ payment profiles (n = 56, 41.8 %), or featured an IP address that was recorded previously (n = 43, 29.5 %). We found few demographic or behavioral differences between valid and invalid samples, however. Invalid submissions had lower odds of reporting HIV testing in the past year (OR 0.63), and higher odds of requesting no payment compared to check payments (OR 2.75). Thus, rates of HIV testing would have been underestimated if invalid submissions had not been removed, and payment may not be the only incentive for invalid participation.
