Our primary objective during this pilot work has been to determine if the computerized RAB can be used in place of the paper-and-pencil version with an IDU population. As stated, reliability estimates in the form of correlations of risk scores between the two versions ranged from .82 to .94, and percentages of exact agreement of the scoreable items ranged from 88% to 100%. These correlations indicate that the C-RAB is comparable to the RAB in its psychometric properties. Further, subjects' positive ratings of the computer program and perceptions that it would better protect confidentiality indicate that this population would participate in assessments involving computer interactions. While these self-reports may be biased on clients' desire to be cooperative and the novelty of the assessment approach, the high level of approval ratings suggest that a majority of participants do prefer completing assessments on the computer. Similarly, participants' demonstrated ability to use the computer and their rating of the program as easy to use suggest that the C-RAB has potential to be a reliable and efficient tool in assessing risk behaviors among IDUs enrolled in HIV vaccine trials.
在这项试点工作中，我们的主要目标是确定计算机化的风险行为评估量表（RAB）是否可以替代纸质版，用于注射吸毒者群体。如前所述，两个版本的风险评分相关性形式的信度估计值在0.82至0.94之间，可计分项目的完全一致百分比在88%至100%之间。这些相关性表明，计算机化风险行为评估量表（C-RAB）在心理测量特性方面与风险行为评估量表（RAB）相当。此外，受试者对计算机程序的积极评价以及认为它能更好地保护保密性的看法表明，该群体愿意参与涉及计算机交互的评估。虽然这些自我报告可能因客户合作的意愿和评估方法的新颖性而存在偏差，但高认可度表明大多数参与者确实更喜欢在计算机上完成评估。同样，参与者展示出的使用计算机的能力以及他们对该程序易用性的评价表明，计算机化风险行为评估量表（C-RAB）有潜力成为评估参与艾滋病毒疫苗试验的注射吸毒者风险行为的可靠且高效的工具。
