为了回顾不同的数据收集选项，以学校为基础的研究人员和使用音频增强的个人数字助理（APDA）在学校为基础的数据collection.METHODSA新开发的APDA系统的初步研究结果，收集基线数据从645名七年级学生参加了一个以学校为基础的干预研究的样本。评估措施包括学生的反应，完成时间和数据质量（例如，答案的内在一致性（internal consistency）。在数据管理和数据质量的差异进行了检查三组学生：学生新到美国讲英语作为第二语言;特殊教育的学生;和学生不新到美国接受正规教育。虽然完成时间和缺失数据的比例在三组学生中是相似的，心理测量属性的data. CONCLUSIONSSThe APDA系统提供了一个很有前途的新方法，在中学环境中收集数据。有认知缺陷和语言障碍的学生能够在没有额外帮助的情况下在类似的时间内完成调查;然而，数据质量的差异表明，即使向受访者宣读问题，理解问题的局限性仍然存在。有必要对APDA的使用进行更多的研究，以充分了解特殊人群数据收集模式的效果。
PURPOSETo review the different data collection options available to school-based researchers and to present the preliminary findings on the use of audio-enhanced personal digital assistants (APDA) for use in school-based data collection.METHODSA newly developed APDA system was used to collect baseline data from a sample of 645 seventh grade students enrolled in a school-based intervention study. Evaluative measures included student response, time to completion, and data quality (e.g., missingness, internal consistency of responses). Differences in data administration and data quality were examined among three groups of students: students newer to the United States speaking English as a second language; special education students; and students not newer to the United States receiving regular education.RESULTSThe APDA system was well received by students and was shown to offer improvements in data administration (increased portability, time to completion) and reduced missing data. Although time to completion and proportion of missing data were similar across the three groups of students, psychometric properties of the data varied considerably.CONCLUSIONSThe APDA system offers a promising new method for collecting data in the middle school environment. Students with cognitive deficits and language barriers were able to complete the survey in a similar amount of time without additional help; however, differences in data quality suggest that limitations in comprehension of the questions remained even though the questions were read to the respondents. More research on the use of APDA is necessary to fully understand the effect of data collection mode with special populations.
