Accurate measurement of compliance by tanning facilities to indoor tanning legislation is important.
This study compared a telephone-based measurement procedure with a face-to-face visit.
Indoor tanning facilities (N = 115) in San Diego County, California, were contacted by two adolescents posing as prospective customers using each method. Two compliance variables were assessed: number of times one can tan during 1 week and written parental consent for minors.
Facility compliance with the frequency variable by face-to-face and telephone was 25.5% and 17.5%, respectively. These rates for the parental consent variable were 73.3% and 80.8%, respectively. Percent agreement between data collection methods was 71.3% for compliance with the frequency recommendation and 76.3% for parental consent regulation. Although traditional statistical tests indicated poor concordance, an alternative test indicated good concordance.
Levels of concordance for the confederates differed.
Telephone assessment of compliance is fairly comparable with the more labor-intensive, face-to-face assessment.
准确衡量晒黑设施对室内晒黑法规的遵守情况很重要。
本研究比较了基于电话的测量程序和面对面访问。
两名青少年分别以潜在客户的身份，通过这两种方式联系了加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥县的室内晒黑设施（N = 115）。评估了两个合规变量：一周内可晒黑的次数以及未成年人的书面家长同意书。
通过面对面和电话方式，设施对频率变量的合规率分别为25.5%和17.5%。家长同意变量的这些比率分别为73.3%和80.8%。数据收集方法之间在遵守频率建议方面的一致率为71.3%，在家长同意规定方面为76.3%。尽管传统统计测试表明一致性较差，但另一种测试表明一致性良好。
同盟者的一致程度不同。
电话评估合规情况与劳动强度更大的面对面评估相当。
