Feasibility of comparing risk profiles by questionnaire of participants and nonparticipants in a cervical screening programme: does asking information on sexual behaviour by means of a questionnaire lead to high non-response? is the non-response selective (related to participation in the screening) and if so how can we limit this?
A postal survey on risk factors for cervical cancer, including sexual behaviour, in a group of participants and nonparticipants.
Two villages, Wijchen and Beuningen, situated near Nijmegen in The Netherlands.
139 participants and 99 nonparticipants in the national screening programme in 1989 or 1990.
Overall, the response to the questionnaire was high: 83%. Collecting the questionnaire by asking the women to return it by mail in a stamped addressed envelope and one reminder by phone showed a response rate of 79%. This response was selective: 93% of the participants in the screening responded and 61% of the nonparticipants. Collecting them personally showed an extremely high response of 96% which was not selective. Only 3 respondents did not answer the questions about sexual behaviour.
Obtaining information on sexual behaviour by questionnaire is feasible. Selective response can be limited by an extremely high response rate, which can be achieved by collecting the questionnaires personally.
通过问卷调查比较宫颈筛查项目参与者和非参与者风险概况的可行性：通过问卷询问性行为信息是否会导致高不回应率？不回应是否具有选择性（与筛查参与情况相关），如果是，我们如何限制这种情况？
对一组参与者和非参与者进行关于宫颈癌风险因素（包括性行为）的邮政调查。
荷兰奈梅亨附近的两个村庄，维亨和博伊宁根。
1989年或1990年全国筛查项目的139名参与者和99名非参与者。
总体而言，问卷的回应率很高：83%。让女性通过邮寄贴有邮票并写好地址的信封返还问卷，并通过电话进行一次提醒，回应率为79%。这种回应具有选择性：筛查参与者的回应率为93%，非参与者为61%。亲自收集问卷显示回应率极高，为96%，且不具有选择性。只有3名受访者未回答关于性行为的问题。
通过问卷获取性行为信息是可行的。选择性回应可以通过极高的回应率来限制，这可以通过亲自收集问卷来实现。
