    Author: Eaton DK, Brener ND, Kann L, Denniston MM, McManus T, Kyle TM, Roberts AM, Flint KH, Ross JG.
    Journal: Eval Rev; 2010 Apr; 34(2):137-53. PubMed ID: 20234000.
    Abstract:
    The authors examined whether paper-and-pencil and Web surveys administered in the school setting yield equivalent risk behavior prevalence estimates. Data were from a methods study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in spring 2008. Intact classes of 9th- or 10th-grade students were assigned randomly to complete a survey via paper-and-pencil or Web. Data from 5,227 students were analyzed using logistic regression to identify associations of mode with reporting of 74 risk behaviors. Mode was associated with reporting of only 7 of the 74 risk behaviors. Results indicate prevalence estimates from paper-and-pencil and Web school-based surveys are generally equivalent.
