目的：为了比较与性传播疾病/人类免疫缺陷病毒（STD/HIV）相关的风险行为的电话调查和在家里自我管理的音频计算机辅助自我interview（A-CASI）的反应偏差：我们随机分配了一个城市家庭样本的223名非洲裔美国青少年的电话采访或A-CASI在他们的家。样本先前通过电话招募，用于早期关于性病和性行为的研究。我们询问了参与者关于他们的STD/HIV相关的危险行为。我们还评估了他们的感知舒适度，诚实度，并在回答问题的准确性，在不同的模式，通过电话计算机辅助自我interview（T-CASI）。结果：有没有显着差异的模式中的参与者报告的STD/HIV相关的危险行为的百分比，除了更多的A-CASI参与者报告说，在过去的3个月内从事性交（43.8%比33.3%）。在不同模式下回答问题的舒适度、诚实度和准确度方面没有差异。这些结果也没有改变后，我们调整了年龄，家庭结构，和目前的学校enrollment.Conclusions：电话采访，一个更经济的模式，可以采用没有太大的风险，增加响应偏差的数据评估粗糙的风险措施。(C)青少年医学协会，2002年。
Purpose: To compare response bias associated with a telephone survey of sexually transmitted disease/human immunodeficiency virus (STD/HIV)-related risk behaviors and an in-home self-administered audio computer assisted self interview (A-CASI).Methods: We randomly assigned an urban household sample of 223 African-American adolescents to a telephone interview or an A-CASI in their home. The sample was previously recruited by telephone for an earlier study regarding STDs and sexual behavior. We queried participants about their STD/HIV-related risk behaviors. We also assessed their perceived comfort, honesty, and accuracy in answering questions in the different modes through a telephone computer-assisted self-interview (T-CASI).Results: There were no significant differences by mode in percentages of participants reporting STD/HIV-related risk behaviors, except more A-CASI participants reported having engaged in sexual intercourse in past 3 months (43.8% vs. 33.3%). There were no differences in perceived comfort, honesty, and accuracy in answering questions in the different modes. These results also did not change after we adjusted for age, household structure, and current school enrollment.Conclusions: Telephone interviews, a more economical mode, can be employed without much risk of increasing the response bias in the data assessing crude measures of risk.
