目标:制定方法,最大限度地提高一般人口调查中报告艾滋病毒风险行为的准确性。我们评估的可行性,使用计算机辅助的自我完成面试(CASI)相比,笔和纸的自我完成interview(PAPI)。设计:一个概率抽样调查的居民年龄在16-44岁的英国,与交替分配的地址采访CASI(462)或PAPI(439)。方法:个人访谈探索人口和性行为变量。主要成果措施的影响,CASI在有关PAPI的数据质量和报告的一系列behaviors.Results率:共完成了901次访谈,829个人有资格并接受了自我完成模块。数据项的内部一致性与CASI比PAPI更大,项目无应答率更低。总体而言,CASI和PAPI之间的报告率无显著差异。在广义估计方程(GEE)分析中,CASI与PAPI相比的主要效应为OR(95% CI)1.04(0.92-1.17)。变量也被单独检查,包括同性恋伴侣关系(调整后OR 1.26 95% CI 0.69-2.29),支付性服务费用(调整OR 0.68 95% CI 0.29-1.59),手淫(调整后OR 0.89 95% CI 0.66-1.22)和过去5年内有5名或5名以上伴侣结论:我们没有发现CASI对该样本中性HIV危险行为报告率有一致影响的证据。CASI提高了内部一致性,减少了遗漏问题。(C)2001年利平科特威廉姆斯&威尔金斯。
Objectives: To develop methods to maximize the accuracy of reporting HIV risk behaviours in a general population survey. We assessed the feasibility of using a computer-assisted self-completion interview (CASI) in comparison with pen-and-paper self-completion interview (PAPI).Design: A probability sample survey of residents aged 16-44 years in Britain, with alternate assignment of addresses to interview by CASI (462) or PAPI (439).Methods: Personal interviews exploring demographic and sexual behaviour variables. Principal outcome measures were the impact of CASI in relation to PAPI on data quality and rates of reporting a range of behaviours.Results: A total of 901 interviews were completed; 829 individuals were eligible for and accepted the self-completion module. Internal consistency of data items was greater with CASI than PAPI and item non-response was lower. Overall, there was no significant difference in rates of reporting between CASI and PAPI. The main effect for CASI compared with PAPI in a generalized estimating equation (GEE) analysis was an OR (95% CI) of 1.04 (0.92-1.17). Variables were also examined individually, including homosexual partnership (adjusted OR 1.26 95% CI 0.69-2.29), payment for sex (adjusted OR 0.68 95% CI 0.29-1.59), masturbation (adjusted OR 0.89 95% CI 0.66-1.22) and five or more partners in the past 5 years (OR 0.85 95% CI 0.61-1.19).Conclusion: We found no evidence of a consistent effect of CASI on rates of reporting sexual HIV risk behaviours in this sample. CASI resulted in improvement in internal consistency and a reduction in missed questions. (C) 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
