临床医生进行网络调查的多功能性、速度和更低的成本往往被较低的应答率所抵消。根据文献中的最佳做法和一般性建议，我们对与提供者进行在线调查的方法进行了循证的概述。我们强调了在线进行提供者调查的重要优点和缺点，并回顾了对临床医生进行网络调查和邮寄调查在回复率方面的差异。在线管理时，基于设计的功能会影响调查参与率和数据质量。我们考察了可能产生影响的特征，包括样本框架、激励措施、联系人(类型、时间和内容)、混合模式方法和调查问卷长度。我们就基于网络的最佳设计提出了几项建议，但还需要更多的实证研究，特别是在确定哪些激励和联系方法的组合能够产生最高的回复率和最具成本效益方面。
The versatility, speed, and reduced costs with which web surveys can be conducted with clinicians are often offset by low response rates. Drawing on best practices and general recommendations in the literature, we provide an evidence-based overview of methods for conducting online surveys with providers. We highlight important advantages and disadvantages of conducting provider surveys online and include a review of differences in response rates between web and mail surveys of clinicians. When administered online, design-based features affect rates of survey participation and data quality. We examine features likely to have an impact including sample frames, incentives, contacts (type, timing, and content), mixed-mode approaches, and questionnaire length. We make several recommendations regarding optimal web-based designs, but more empirical research is needed, particularly with regard to identifying which combinations of incentive and contact approaches yield the highest response rates and are the most cost-effective.
