背景资料：通过晒黑设施室内晒黑legislation.Objective：本研究比较了基于电话的测量程序与面对面visit.Methods：室内晒黑设施（N = 115）在圣地亚哥县，加州，接触了两个青少年冒充潜在客户使用每种方法。两个依从性变量进行了评估：一个可以在1周和书面家长同意未成年人的次数。结果：设施遵守的频率变量面对面和电话，分别为25.5%和17.5%。父母同意变量的这些比率分别为73.3%和80.8%。数据收集方法之间的一致性百分比为71.3%，符合频率建议和76.3%的父母同意监管。虽然传统的统计测试表明不好的一致性，另一种测试表明良好的concordance.Limitations：水平的concordance为邦联differed.Conclusion：电话评估的合规性是相当可比的劳动密集型，面对面的评估。
Background: Accurate measurement of compliance by tanning facilities to indoor tanning legislation is important.Objective: This study compared a telephone-based measurement procedure with a face-to-face visit.Methods: Indoor tanning facilities (N = 115) in San Diego County, California, were contacted by two adolescents posing as prospective customers using each method. Two compliance variables were assessed: number of times one can tan during 1 week and written parental consent for minors.Results: Facility compliance with the frequency variable by face-to-face and telephone was 25.5% and 17.5%, respectively. These rates for the parental consent variable were 73.3% and 80.8%, respectively. Percent agreement between data collection methods was 71.3% for compliance with the frequency recommendation and 76.3% for parental consent regulation. Although traditional statistical tests indicated poor concordance, an alternative test indicated good concordance.Limitations: Levels of concordance for the confederates differed.Conclusion: Telephone assessment of compliance is fairly comparable with the more labor-intensive, face-to-face assessment.
