A feasibility test of using smartphones to collect GPS information in face-to-face surveys

A feasibility test of using smartphones to collect GPS information in face-to-face surveys" (2015). Survey organizations rely on interviewers to make informed and efficient decisions about their efforts in the field, including which housing units they approach to knock on doors, seeking to make appointments, and obtain interviews. This paper presents initial findings from a feasibility test on ...

Using Internet/Intranet Web Pages to Collect Organizational Research Data

The feasibility of using cellular phones to collect ecological momentary assessment data: application to alcohol consumption.

The limitations of paper-and-pencil self-monitoring (PM) are leading to the use of more sophisticated techniques. PM was compared with cellular phone monitoring (CM) to collect ecological momentary assessment data on alcohol use. Twenty social drinkers were randomly assigned to the 2 groups, and their drinking was monitored for 14 days. PM participants recorded data on cards. CM participants ca...

Web-Based Survey Application to Collect Contextually Relevant Geographic Data With Exposure Times: Application Development and Feasibility Testing

BACKGROUND Although studies that characterize the risk environment by linking contextual factors with individual-level data have advanced infectious disease and substance use research, there are opportunities to refine how we define relevant neighborhood exposures; this can in turn reduce the potential for exposure misclassification. For example, for those who do not inject at home, injection r...

Using Personal Digital Assistants to Collect Survey Data

New technologies for computer-assisted survey information collection (CASIC) are being developed as graphical user interfaces, mouse/pen-based computing, handwriting recognition, hand-held computers, and use of the Interact become more widespread (Connett, Mockovak and Uglow, 1994; Gilluly, 1994; Nichols and Apple, 1994; Shanks, 1994; Forster and Snow, 1995; Hansen, 1996). The utility of these ...
