Survey Response Rate

Background The PRECARD® program has been used for electronic cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment and management in Denmark since 1999. The use of and attitudes toward the program are reported. Design and Methods Using an Internet and postal survey to all Danish general practitioners, a total of 592 Danish general practitioners participated in the Internet part of the survey (response rate 19%) and 291 in the postal survey (response rate 73%). Results in all, 21.5% of the GPs use PRECARD®, whereas 10% are ex-users. The program is used on average once a week and 64% of the users report that PRECARD® prolongs the consultation somewhat or a lot Both users and ex-users perceive the program to have a favourable effect on the patients, and as an improvement to the dialogue between GP and patient Reasons for no longer using the program are varied, such as technical problems and lack of routine with the program. Conclusions Our results indicate that an electronic risk management tool like PRECARD®, is perceived as a quality improvement in preventive cardiology in primary care. However the use of the program is not optimal and it may prolong the consultation. Eur J Cardiovasc Prev Rehabil 12:52-55 © 2005 The European Society of Cardiology

Survey Response Rate

This study examined whether survey response rate differed based on the color of the paper the survey was printed on (blue vs green) and presence of a monetary incentive. A 4-page survey on eating disorders was mailed to Division 1A and 1AA college head athletic trainers ( N = 223) with half of the surveys on blue paper and half on green paper. Half of the athletic trainers ( n = 111) received a $1.00 monetary incentive, and half ( n = 112) received no monetary incentive. A total of 166 (71%) athletic trainers returned completed surveys. Response rates did not differ based on survey color but did differ based on presence of a monetary incentive. Athletic trainers who received a monetary incentive were significantly more likely than those who did not to return completed surveys (86% vs 63%, respectively).

The Impact

This article examines the impact of follow-up techniques (designed to increase the survey response rate) on uninformed responses to factual survey questions. Such questions of fact can be used as filters to measures a respondents base of information, knowledge or experience on a topic prior to measuring his/her opinions on that topic, but only if uninformed responses are less likely to be given to the factual filter questions than to the opinion/attitude questions. Previous research suggests that response pressure (including follow-up contact) tends to exacerbate the uninformed response rate to opinion or attitude questions. However, the research reported here suggests that is not so with factual questions; follow-up contract does not result in increased levels of uninformed response to questions of fact.
