“…A clinical interview might be more reliable and valid than are self-report measures of hoarding, although several studies now show that data collection over the internet yields results comparable to those using a paper-and-pencil format, [31][32][33] and the selfreport measures used in this study correlate strongly with those obtained via interview. [5] It is possible that the hoarding severity ratings used to determine course of illness were too restricted (1-4 scale) to yield a precise estimate of the degree of symptom fluctuation over time.…”

“…Participants responded to the survey over the internet; several studies have found that internet-based data collection yields results comparable to those using a paper-and-pencil format, [31][32][33] although the specific measures used in this study have not been compared in this manner. Human subject's protection was consistent with current recommendations for web-based studies.…”

“…This was indeed the case for the domains medical and obstetric history and the majority of lifestyle habits, although overall Kappa scores were not as high as those reported in the written questionnaire. Several other studies have been published on Internet questionnaires for assessment of specific health risks, primarily various mental health assessment scales [6,7,8]. Those studies conclude that psychometric properties of Internet-administered psychological assessment forms are generally comparable to paper-and-pencil, but as described by Vallejo et al [7], should only be used as a global index for psychological distress.…”

Aim: Validation of a self-administered Internet questionnaire for preconception risk assessment. Methods: Women with an appointment at the outpatient clinics for preconception care or fertility at the Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam were requested to fill out the online questionnaire prior to attendance. Subsequently, the items of the questionnaire were verified by history taking during the first or next appointment. Agreement between the 2 screening methods (Internet vs. history taking) was calculated using Kappa statistic. Results: Most lifestyle variables, including smoking, alcohol, and dietary items, showed a good to high level of agreement when compared to the interview. Most medical history and obstetric history items also showed a good to high level of agreement. The use of over-the-counter drugs revealed a poor level of agreement (Kappa = 0.21). The items pertaining to women’s family history showed a reasonable level of agreement; however, the partner’s family history was unreliable and should be checked at the interview. Conclusion: The online questionnaire www.zwangerwijzer.nl is a useful tool for the identification of a number of potential risk factors in the preconception care setting and was found to be a an efficient and clear screening instrument by the majority of women. However, additional history taking by trained professionals is necessary to verify several items and to further explore identified risk factors for an adverse pregnancy outcome.

“…However, research suggests that internet surveys deliver data that are equally reliable to that of other study designs. 39,40 It is important to highlight that the current study had a larger proportion of females compared to males. Although this might seem unusual given previous studies that have documented that BDD is similarly prevalent in both genders, newer data suggests that BDD appears to affect slightly more females than males.…”

Objective: Whether social support is associated with severity of body dysmorphic symptoms is unknown. To address this gap in the literature, the present study aims to examine the association between three domains of perceived social support (i.e., family, friends, and significant others) and severity of body dysmorphic disorder symptoms. Method: Participants (N = 400) with symptoms consistent with diagnosis of body dysmorphic disorder completed measures of symptomatology and social support via the internet. Results: More perceived social support from friends and significant others was associated with less severe body dysmorphic disorder symptoms for males, and more perceived social support from family and friends was associated with less severe body dysmorphic disorder symptoms among females. Additionally, gender moderated the association between perceived social support from significant others and symptom severity, such that perceived social support from a significant other was significantly negatively associated with body dysmorphic symptom severity in males, but not females. Conclusion: The present study implicates social support as an important area of future body dysmorphic disorder research. Descriptors
