Abstract

The purposes of this report are to (a) describe challenges associated with collecting data by telephone from 368 urban-dwelling African Americans and (b) describe characteristics of easy-to-reach participants. Data collected through four telephone interviews were used for these analyses. Over 1 year, 55 (15.0%) participants had at least one telephone number change; 75 (20.4%) had their telephone disconnected. The mean (+/-SD) number of attempted telephone calls per participant was 9.5 (+/-4.0). Those who were easy to reach, requiring eight or fewer call attempts over 1 year (n = 170; 46%), were older (t = 3.0, p = .003), female (chi(2) = 4.6, p = .03), and currently not working (chi(2) = 7.9, p = .005).

摘要

本报告的目的是

（a）描述通过电话从368名居住在城市的非裔美国人那里收集数据所面临的挑战，以及（b）描述易于联系到的参与者的特征。通过四次电话访谈收集的数据用于这些分析。在一年多的时间里，55名（15.0%）参与者至少更换过一次电话号码；75名（20.4%）参与者的电话已停机。每位参与者尝试拨打的电话平均数量为9.5次（±4.0）。那些易于联系到的参与者，即在一年中需要拨打八次或更少电话（n = 170；46%）的人，年龄更大（t = 3.0，p = .003），女性比例更高（卡方值 = 4.6，p = .03），且目前没有工作（卡方值 = 7.9，p = .005）。
