通过邮寄的问卷调查医生时，一个主要的担忧是无回答偏差的低应答率可能会增加(即，完成调查的人在某种程度上与没有完成调查的人在某些方面不同的可能性；Tambor等人，1993；Halpern等人，2002)。虽然低应答率不会自动导致这种类型的偏见，但当应答率低时，无回答偏见的可能性更高(Cummings等人，2001；Halpern和Asch，2003)。三种可能提高应答率且尚未得到充分调查的干预措施是：随调查工具一起在介绍性封面上手写的个性化说明，在提醒明信片上手写签名和说明，以及在邮件中加入硬糖作为物质激励。我们对800名皮肤科医生进行了邮寄调查，调查了这三种干预措施的效果，这些皮肤科医生被随机分配到接受或不接受这三种干预措施的组(表1)。这项研究是
A major concern when surveying physicians via mailed questionnaires is the potential raised by low response rates for nonresponse bias (ie, the possibility that those individuals who complete a survey are different in some way than those who do not complete a survey; Tambor et al., 1993; Halpern et al., 2002). While low response rates do not automatically lead to this type of bias, the possibility for nonresponse bias is higher when the response rate is low (Cummings et al., 2001; Halpern and Asch, 2003).Three interventions that may increase response rates and that have not yet been adequately investigated are hand-written personalized notes on the introductory cover letter accompanying the survey instrument, handwritten signatures and notes on a reminder postcard, and inclusion of hard candy in mailings as a material incentive. We investigated the effect of these three interventions in a mailed survey of 800 dermatologists randomly assigned to groups that would either receive or not receive each of the three interventions (Table 1).
