目前尚不清楚向研究参与者提供在线数据收集是否会影响依从性或产生偏见。比较选择通过邮件完成调查的吸烟者与选择在线完成调查的吸烟者之间的响应率、基线特征、重测可靠性和结果。我们对打算在未来 30 天内戒烟的吸烟者进行了调查，以确定拨打戒烟热线的障碍。参与者可以选择完成通过邮件发送的纸质调查版本或在受密码保护的网站上完成在线版本的调查。两个月后，参与者接到电话以确定自基线调查以来他们是否曾尝试戒烟和/或拨打戒烟热线。我们比较了选择邮寄与在线完成的人的特征和结果。我们通过在原始调查后 10 天内对参与者的半随机样本进行重新调查来衡量基线调查的重测可靠性。在美国 12 个城市的 697 名符合条件的报纸广告受访者中，438 名 (63%) 选择接受邮寄纸质调查，259 名 (37%) 选择接受互联网调查。两种模式的调查返回率相同（92% 与 92%，P = .82）。在线受访者更年轻（邮寄的平均年龄为 46 岁与 51 岁，P < .001），更有可能是白人（76% 对 62%，P < .001），非裔美国人的可能性较小（18% 对 30%，P < .001），受教育程度更高（34% 大学毕业生对 23%，P < .001），更有可能打算在未来 30 天内戒烟（47% 绝对对 30%，P < .001），更有可能听说过戒烟热线（51% 对 40%，P = .008）。参与者在性别（在线上网的女性比例为 54%，邮寄的女性比例为 55%，P = .72）或每天吸烟数量（平均值为 19 支与 21 支，P = .30）方面没有差异。在 79 项调查中，在线受访者的缺失项目略少（平均缺失 1.7% 与 2.3%，P = .02）。 2 个月时的失访率相似（在线失访率为 16%，邮寄失访率为 15%，P = 0.74）。在线受访者和邮寄受访者在 2 个月的随访期间拨打戒烟热线（20% 对比 24%，P = .22）或尝试戒烟（76% 对比 79%，P = .41）方面没有显着差异。选择使用互联网完成调查的吸烟者与选择邮寄调查的吸烟者在几个方面有所不同。然而，更重要的是，在线和邮寄回复产生了类似的结果。
It is unclear whether offering online data collection to study participants affects compliance or produces bias. To compare response rates, baseline characteristics, test-retest reliability, and outcomes between cigarette smokers who chose to complete a survey by mail versus those who chose to complete it online. We surveyed cigarette smokers who intended to stop smoking within the next 30 days to determine barriers to calling a smoking quit line. Participants were offered the choice of completing a paper version of the survey sent through the mail or an online version at a password-protected website. Participants were called 2 months later to determine if they had made a quit attempt and/or called a smoking quit line since the baseline survey. We compared characteristics and outcomes among those who chose postal versus online completion. We measured test-retest reliability of the baseline survey by resurveying a semirandom sample of participants within 10 days of the original survey. Of 697 eligible respondents to newspaper ads in 12 US cities, 438 (63%) chose to receive a mailed paper survey and 259 (37%) chose an Internet survey. Survey return rates were the same for the 2 modes (92% versus 92%, P = .82). Online respondents were younger (mean of 46 versus 51 years old for postal, P < .001), more likely to be white (76% versus 62%, P < .001), less likely to be African American (18% versus 30%, P < .001), more highly educated (34% college graduate versus 23%, P < .001), more likely to intend to stop smoking in the next 30 days (47% definitely versus 30%, P < .001), and more likely to have heard of a smoking quit line (51% versus 40%, P = .008). Participants did not differ on gender (54% female for online versus 55% for postal, P = .72) or cigarettes smoked per day (mean of 19 versus 21, P = .30). Online respondents had slightly fewer missing items on the 79-item survey (mean of 1.7% missing versus 2.3%, P = .02). Loss to follow-up at 2 months was similar (16% for online and 15% for postal, P = .74). There was no significant difference between online and postal respondents in having called a smoking quit line during the 2-month follow-up period (20% versus 24%, P = .22) or in having made a quit attempt (76% versus 79%, P = .41). Cigarette smokers who chose to complete a survey using the Internet differed in several ways from those who chose mailed surveys. However, more importantly, online and postal responses produced similar outcomes.
