An e-mail listserv was used to recruit participants, administer a survey, send electronic gift certificates, and disseminate the findings of a study of psychological responses to being a carrier of the gene for phenylketonuria, a rare genetic disease. The majority of responses to the call for participants were received within the first 24 hours, and most surveys (n = 83) were returned via e-mail within 5 days. The use of e-mail allowed more opportunities for researcher-participant interaction than Web-based surveys, but the return rate of 51% may reflect concerns about privacy when e-mail addresses are required.
通过电子邮件列表服务器招募参与者、进行调查、发送电子礼品券,并传播一项关于苯丙酮尿症(一种罕见遗传病)基因携带者心理反应研究的结果。对招募参与者的呼吁的大多数回复在最初24小时内收到,大多数调查问卷(n = 83)在5天内通过电子邮件返回。与基于网络的调查相比,使用电子邮件为研究人员与参与者的互动提供了更多机会,但51%的回复率可能反映了在需要电子邮件地址时对隐私的担忧。
