DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Accurate self-report data on individual sexual risk practices are critical for judging the efficacy of HIV risk- reduction interventions. These reports are most often collected by retrospective assessment. More attention is now being devoted to survey design and administration, including widespread use of computer-assisted self-interviews (CASI). However, relatively little research has systematically evaluated whether these methods improve the accuracy of retrospective self-report data. In our recent study, daily sexual activity diaries were used to study the effects of commonly-used partner-specific versus aggregate question formats and modes of data collection SAQ, CASI, and audio-CASI on the accuracy of retrospective sexual behavior reports. Findings indicated that CASI modes and partner-specific format resulted in greater accuracy than more traditional survey methods. However, the rate of error in the data remained relatively high (between 30% and 38%), when compared to the diary-based measures. Despite their potential for yielding highly-detailed and recall-error free data, the use of traditional (paper) diaries has been limited in HIV research, mainly due to problems of maintaining participant compliance, missing or inconsistent data, and the costs of implementation. The proposed study will examine whether electronic diaries both telephone and internet-based can mitigate the obstacles associated with paper diaries. 302 men and 302 women will be randomized to electronic and paper diary conditions for reporting sexual activity over a 3-month period. Rates of compliance, accuracy and costs relating to electronic diaries will be compared to those for paper diaries. Determining the feasibility of using diary-based measures to evaluate outcomes of HIV prevention interventions is a critical aspect of our study; however, we acknowledge that retrospective surveys will remain the standard mode for collecting outcome data in HIV research. Therefore, we also propose to evaluate the accuracy of sexual self-reports obtained from 2 audio-CASI assessments using question formats consistent with cognitive theory partner-specific and timeline follow-back when the data are compared to the diary-based measures for the same period. By developing methods to ascertain the accuracy of risk outcome measures, the proposed study seeks to improve our ability to evaluate the efficacy of HIV prevention models, thus supporting public health strategies for identifying effective HIV interventions.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于个人性风险实践的准确自我报告数据对于判断艾滋病毒风险降低干预措施的疗效至关重要。这些报告通常是通过回顾性评估收集的。现在，更多的关注正在专门用于调查设计和管理，包括广泛使用计算机辅助的自我意见书（CASI）。但是，相对较少的研究系统地评估了这些方法是否提高了回顾性自我报告数据的准确性。在我们最近的研究中，每天的性活动日记被用来研究常用的合作伙伴特异性与总问题格式的影响以及数据收集SAQ，CASI和Audio-Casi对回顾性性行为报告准确性的影响。研究结果表明，与更传统的调查方法相比，CASI模式和特定于合作伙伴的格式的准确性更高。但是，与基于日记的措施相比，数据中的误差率保持较高（在30％至38％之间）。尽管它们有可能产生高度详细且无召回的数据，但使用传统（纸）日记的使用受到艾滋病毒研究的限制，这主要是由于维持参与者合规性，缺失或不一致的数据以及实施成本的问题。拟议的研究将检查电子日记是否可以减轻与纸质日记相关的障碍。 302名男性和302名女性将被随机分配到3个月内报告性活动的电子和纸日记条件。将与电子日记有关的合规性，准确性和成本与纸质日记进行比较。确定使用基于日记的措施评估HIV预防干预措施的可行性是我们研究的关键方面。但是，我们承认，回顾性调查将仍然是收集HIV研究结果数据的标准模式。因此，我们还建议使用与认知理论伴侣特定于认知理论伙伴特定的问题和时间表之后相一致的问题格式获得的性自我报告的准确性，当时数据与同一时期的基于日记的措施进行了比较。通过开发确定风险结果度量准确性的方法，拟议的研究旨在提高我们评估预防HIV预防模型功效的能力，从而支持识别有效的HIV干预措施的公共卫生策略。
