We followed a protocol and searched for studies that compared different survey delivery modes to adolescents. Eligible studies reported response rates, mental health score variation per survey mode and participant variations in mental health scores. We searched CENTRAL, PsycINFO, MEDLINE and Scopus in May 2022, and conducted citation searches in June 2022. Two reviewers independently undertook study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessments. Following the assessment of heterogeneity, some studies were pooled using meta-analysis.
Fifteen studies were identified, reporting six comparisons related to survey methods and strategies. Results indicate that response rates do not differ between survey modes (e.g., web versus paper-and-pencil) delivered in classroom settings. However, web surveys may yield higher response rates outside classroom settings. The largest effects on response rates were achieved using unconditional monetary incentives and obtaining passive parental consent. Survey mode influenced mental health scores in certain comparisons.
Despite the mixed quality of the studies, the low volume for some comparisons and the limit to studies in high income countries, several effective methods and strategies to improve adolescents\' response rates to mental health surveys were identified.
方法:我们遵循了一项方案,并搜索了将不同的调查分娩方式与青少年进行比较的研究。符合条件的研究报告了反应率,每个调查模式的心理健康评分变化和参与者的心理健康评分变化。我们搜索了中部,PsycINFO,MEDLINE和Scopus于2022年5月,并于2022年6月进行了引文搜索。两名评审员独立进行研究选择,数据提取,和偏见风险评估。在评估异质性之后,一些研究采用荟萃分析进行汇总.
结果:确定了15项研究,报告与调查方法和策略相关的六个比较。结果表明,调查模式之间的响应率没有差异(例如,网络与纸笔)在教室环境中交付。然而,网络调查可能会在课堂设置之外产生更高的回应率。对回应率的最大影响是使用无条件的货币激励措施并获得父母的被动同意。调查模式在某些比较中影响了心理健康得分。
结论:尽管研究质量参差不齐,一些比较的数量低,高收入国家的研究有限,确定了几种有效的方法和策略来提高青少年对心理健康调查的反应率。
