Modalities of questionnaire administration may affect data quality, particularly when conducting Biological and Behavioral Surveillance Surveys (BBSS) of uniformed personnel. We aimed to examine differences in administration, reporting and data quality across several common modalities of administration for BBSS endeavors. Prior to a large-scale BBSS endeavor with the uniformed services of Peru, we pilot tested three modes of questionnaire administration among personnel engaged in internal combat: face-to-face interview (FFI), self-administered paper-based interview (SAPI), and audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI). Individuals who took the survey using ACASI were less likely to have missing data on measures of sexual risk and alcohol abuse and were more likely to report sexual risk behaviours and symptoms of alcohol abuse; however, more individuals took the survey using SAPI given inadequate time to devote to sitting through an entire FFI or ACASI. Sexually transmitted infections did not vary significantly across modes of questionnaire administration. While more logistically complicated for BBSS efforts in resource-constrained settings, we recommend the use of ACASI in collecting BBSS data from uniformed personnel if conditions are permissible.
问卷管理方式可能会影响数据质量，尤其是在对军警人员进行生物和行为监测调查（BBSS）时。我们旨在研究BBSS调查中几种常见管理方式在管理、报告和数据质量方面的差异。在对秘鲁军警进行大规模BBSS调查之前，我们在参与内部战斗的人员中对三种问卷管理方式进行了预测试：面对面访谈（FFI）、纸质自填式访谈（SAPI）和音频计算机辅助自填式访谈（ACASI）。采用ACASI进行调查的个体在性风险和酒精滥用测量方面缺失数据的可能性较小，并且更有可能报告性风险行为和酒精滥用症状；然而，由于没有足够时间完成整个FFI或ACASI，采用SAPI进行调查的个体更多。问卷管理方式对性传播感染的影响没有显著差异。虽然在资源有限的环境中进行BBSS工作时，后勤保障更为复杂，但如果条件允许，我们建议使用ACASI从军警人员中收集BBSS数据。
