在2016年至2017年，我们调查了曼哈顿和纽约南布朗克斯的初级保健提供者（PCP），了解他们对艾滋病毒暴露前预防（PrEP）的知识，态度和做法。尽管我们努力促进调查答复，但我们只能获得微薄的答复率，限制了我们解释结果的能力。在这个简短的交流中，我们检查了我们的调查方法，以及其他类似研究所使用的方法，以表明某些策略如何影响PCP对PrEP调查的反应。以各种模式管理调查，从专业组织的listserv中抽样，促进调查主题与潜在参与者的相关性，并向每个调查受访者提供货币激励，这些似乎都是提高PrEP提供者调查响应率的有希望的策略。
In 2016 to 2017, we surveyed primary care providers (PCPs) in upper Manhattan and the South Bronx, New York, on their knowledge, attitudes, and practices surrounding preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV. Despite efforts to promote survey response, we were only able to obtain a meager response rate, limiting our ability to interpret results. In this short communication, we examine our survey’s methodology, as well as the methods used by other similar studies, in order to suggest how certain strategies appear to influence PCP response to PrEP surveys. Administering the survey in a variety of modes, sampling from a professional organization’s listserv, promoting the survey topic’s relevance to potential participants, and offering monetary incentives to each survey respondent all appear to be promising strategies for increasing response rates in PrEP provider surveys.
