Core 014 (130) Survey Methods Core

项目总结 调查方法核心(SMC)的目标是协助莫菲特癌症中心(MCC)成员进行调查 研究设计、实施和执行。SMC的目标是：1)就选择向潜在用户进行咨询 和实施现有调查工具和/或设计新的应用程序和方法；2)支持 通过利用可扫描和基于网络的应用程序提供与调查有关的高质量服务； 3)就定性研究方法和资源工具对调查人员和工作人员进行教育和培训。 SMC由两名全职和一名兼职双语(西班牙语/英语)工作人员组成。SMC 协助调查过程的所有阶段，包括测试回忆、理解和替代措辞 用于调查工具；评估各种访谈技巧和受访者激励；以及比较 数据收集方式。SMC提供选择已发布的措施和工具的专业知识，并 制定新的、专门针对学习的措施。此外，它还在以下各方面提供培训和援助 认知访谈，包括焦点小组、个人访谈、发声思考会议和其他方法 用于研究受访者和面试者对调查问题、回答类别和程序的反应。 每年向MCC提供两次数据收集和分析培训，并根据需要对每个人进行培训 在特定项目的基础上向成员及其工作人员提供信息。SMC在编制调查报告方面提供专业知识 一旦受访者完成表格及其电子处理，包括通过进行数据采集 电话访谈和使用SMC设计的基于网络的调查作为进入方法。用户收到 以适合统计分析的形式核实原始数据表，通常由生物统计核心进行。 SMC服务增加价值并影响癌症护理提供、生活质量、预防、检测和健康 通过使用认知访谈技术进行差异研究，以确保新的调查问题 可以如期完成。以有效和可靠的方式利用参与者自我报告的信息 通过咨询和预测试得到改进。数据收集的效率通过使用 可扫描表格和基于网络的调查。这对于大规模研究或研究来说尤其有益 管理多个地点的调查，以简化和标准化数据收集过程。这个 SMC使用实验室信息管理系统(LIMS)来巩固使用情况跟踪， 调度和计费功能。LIMS还为项目和数据提供了安全的存储库 管理，成员和他们的实验室工作人员可以访问。在之前的获奖期内， SMC帮助了所有五个项目的47名用户，并支持了65份同行评议的出版物。在上一财年 去年，SMC为19个成员提供服务，其中86%是由同行审查资助的成员使用的。

PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of the Survey Methods Core (SMC) is to assist Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) members with survey research design, implementation, and execution. The SMC aims to: 1) consult with potential users on selection and implementation of existing survey tools and/or design of new applications and approaches; 2) support members by providing high-quality survey-related services utilizing scannable and web-based applications; and 3) educate and train investigators and staff on qualitative research methods and resource tools. The SMC consists of two full-time and one part-time bilingual (Spanish/English) staff members. The SMC assists with all phases of the survey process, including testing recall, comprehension, and alternative wording for survey instruments; assessing various interviewing techniques and respondent incentives; and comparing data collection modalities. The SMC provides expertise in the selection of published measures and tools and development of new, study-specific measures. In addition, it provides training and assistance in all aspects of cognitive interviewing, including focus groups, individual interviews, think-aloud sessions, and other methods used to study respondent and interviewer reactions to survey questions, response categories, and procedures. Training in data collection and analysis are offered twice a year to MCC as a whole and individually as needed to members and their staff on a project-specific basis. The SMC provides expertise in the production of survey forms and their electronic processing once completed by respondents, including data capture by conducting telephone interviews and using an SMC-designed web-based survey as the method of entry. Users receive verified raw data tables in a form suitable for statistical analysis, often conducted by the Biostatistics Core. SMC services add value and affect cancer care delivery, quality of life, prevention, detection, and health disparities research through access to cognitive interviewing techniques to ensure that novel survey questions can be completed as intended. Utilization of participant self-reported information in a valid and reliable manner is improved through consultation and pre-testing. Efficiency in data collection is increased through the use of scannable forms and web-based surveys. This is particularly beneficial for large-scale studies or studies that administer surveys at multiple sites, to have the process streamlined and standardized for data collection. The SMC employs the use of a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to consolidate usage tracking, scheduling, and billing functions. The LIMS also provides a secure repository for project and data management, which is accessible by members and their laboratory staff. During the prior award period, the SMC assisted 47 users from all five Programs and supported 65 peer-reviewed publications. In the last fiscal year, the SMC provided service for 19 members, with 86% of total usage by peer-review-funded members.
