The Use of Multimode Data Collection in Random Digit Dialing Cell Phone Surveys for Young Adults: Feasibility Study

The English language survey was translated into Spanish by a bilingual researcher and independently reviewed by a second translator with inconsistencies adjudicated by the investigator team. New survey questions were pretested in Spanish and English using cognitive interviewing techniques, and a usability test was carried out on i OS and Android (Google Inc) devices. Baseline data collection occurred between April 2018 and May 2019 via a computer-assisted telephone interviewing system and web-based survey.

In total, 86.7% (235/271) of cases included an inconsistent response to 1 or more verifiable items, and 16.2% (44/271) included a response to a hidden item. Every case that included a response to a hidden item and had valid timestamp data (25/271, 9.2%) exhibited a survey completion time under 2 minutes.
