全国药物滥用家庭调查（NHSDA）是美国药物滥用范围和程度信息的主要数据来源。为了改进数据收集，NHSDA在1999年被转换为计算机辅助访谈（CAI）格式。本文报告了为指导转换所做的研究。本文的主要重点是在1997年第四季度进行的一项大型（n = 1,982）实地实验，该实验检查了不同的音频计算机辅助自我访谈（ACASI）程序。这个实地实验表明，ACASI可能会增加青少年吸毒的报告；被访者可以自己纠正计算机检测到的不一致的回答。而且ACASI减轻了阅读能力差和受教育程度较低的受访者的回答任务。
The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) is the nation's primary data source for information on the scope and dimensions of drug abuse in the United States. To improve data collection, the NHSDA was converted to a computer-assisted interview (CAI) format in 1999. This paper reports on the research that was done to guide the conversion. The main focus of the paper is on a large (n = 1,982) field experiment that examined different audio computer-assisted self-interviewing (ACASI) procedures in the fourth quarter of 1997. This field experiment showed that ACASI is likely to increase reporting of drug use among youth; that respondents can, on their own, correct inconsistencies in responses that are detected by the computer. and that ACASI eases the response task for poor readers and less well educated respondents.
