To compare the data quality, logistics, and cost of a self-administered sexual behavior questionnaire administered either using a computer-assisted survey instrument (CASI) or by paper and pencil in a primary care clinic.
A self-administered sexual behavior questionnaire was administered to 16-29 year olds attending general practice. Questionnaires were administered by either paper and pencil (paper) or CASI. A personal digital assistant was used to self-administer the CASI.
A total of 4,491 people completed the questionnaire, with 46.9% responses via CASI and 53.2% by paper. Completion of questions was greater for CASI than for paper for sexual behavior questions: number of sexual partners [odds ratio (OR), 6.85; 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.32, 14.11] and ever having had sex with a person of the same gender (OR, 2.89; 95% CI: 1.52, 5.49). The median number of questions answered was higher for CASI than for paper (17.6 vs. 17.2; P < 0.01). CASI was cheaper to run at $8.18 per questionnaire compared with $11.83 for paper.
Electronic devices using CASI are a tool that can increase participants' questionnaire responses and deliver more complete data for a sexual behavior questionnaire in primary care clinics.
比较在初级保健诊所中，使用计算机辅助调查工具（CASI）或纸质问卷自我管理性行为问卷的资料质量、物流和成本。
对参加普通科诊所的 16-29 岁年轻人进行自我管理性行为问卷。通过纸质问卷（纸质）或 CASI 进行问卷调查。使用个人数字助理进行 CASI 自我管理。
共有 4491 人完成了问卷，其中 46.9%通过 CASI 回答，53.2%通过纸质回答。CASI 完成的性行为问题比纸质问卷多：性伴侣数量[比值比（OR），6.85；95%置信区间（CI）：3.32，14.11]和曾经与同性发生性关系（OR，2.89；95%CI：1.52，5.49）。CASI 回答的问题中位数高于纸质问卷（17.6 对 17.2；P <0.01）。CASI 比纸质问卷运行成本低，每份问卷为 8.18 美元，而纸质问卷为 11.83 美元。
使用 CASI 的电子设备是一种工具，可增加参与者对问卷的回答，并为初级保健诊所中的性行为问卷提供更完整的数据。
