We compared telephone and household surveys as methods for obtaining information about breast cancer screening. The study population was comprised of women age 40 years or older who were permanent residents of two large areas of Florida. We contacted women using random digit dialing for the telephone survey. We used a stratified multistage design for the household survey. Response rates were 49% (telephone) and 77% (household). Distributions of most screening (mammography, clinical examination, and breast self-examination) and demographic variables were comparable for the two surveys; income was higher in the telephone survey. Both surveys underestimated the proportion of older women, based on 1990 Census data.
我们比较了电话调查和家庭调查这两种获取乳腺癌筛查信息的方法。研究人群包括年龄在40岁及以上、常住佛罗里达州两个大区域的女性。我们通过随机数字拨号联系女性进行电话调查。家庭调查采用分层多阶段设计。回复率分别为49%（电话调查）和77%（家庭调查）。两项调查中大多数筛查（乳房X线摄影、临床检查和乳房自我检查）及人口统计学变量的分布具有可比性；电话调查中的收入较高。根据1990年人口普查数据，两项调查均低估了老年女性的比例。
