“…Several factors may explain this finding. The predominantly older head and neck cancer population may not be as adept at or willing to use an automated IVR system [14]. In addition, most patients receiving radiation therapy for head and neck cancer develop severe mouth and/or throat ulcerations (mucositis) that can make it very painful to speak.…”

BackgroundInteractive Voice Response Systems (IVRS) and other electronic data collection methods have begun to replace conventional paper diaries as a way to capture daily patient reports. However, these methods have not been compared in head and neck (H&N) cancer patients receiving radiation therapy.Methods15 subjects with H&N cancer were asked to complete daily IVRS calls and daily paper diaries during radiation therapy. We compared response consistency and comparative adherence across the two methods.Results86.1% (1920/2231) of participants' responses were consistent between IVRS and paper diaries. 79.5% of the expected number of paper diaries were completed, compared to 66.2% of IVRS phone calls.ConclusionsIn this pilot study of H&N cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy, concordance was high between responses recorded by paper diaries and IVRS. Although adherence appeared to be higher for the paper diaries, it is possible that they may not have been completed at the proper time.

“…Data were collected from June 2011 to June 2013 on tablet computers using handheld computer-assisted self interviewing, which can increase reports of sensitive behaviors (Bernhardt et al, 2001; Morrison-Beedy, Carey, & Tu, 2006) and is easy to use by respondents with low literacy (Al-Tayyib, Rogers, Gribble, Villarroel, & Turner, 2002; Edwards et al, 2007). The peer outreach worker provided assistance as participants completed the survey.…”

Correlates of antiretroviral adherence and viral load among transgender women living with HIV

2014

Transgender women are 49 times more likely to become HIV infected than other groups, yet they are drastically underserved by current treatment efforts and report lower rates of treatment adherence then other groups. The objective of this study was to explore correlates of antiretroviral (ART) adherence and viral load among HIV-positive transgender women on ART utilizing a cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of 59 transgender women. In multivariate models of ART adherence, correlates were age, stress appraisal of transphobic experiences, importance of gender affirmation, and adherence to hormone therapy. In multivariate models of self-reported viral load, correlates were stress appraisal of transphobic experiences and being in a relationship. This study provides preliminary evidence of transgender-relevant correlates of ART adherence and viral load.

“…Although research suggests that technology such as wireless MDs offers many benefi ts for behavioral assessment (Bernhardt et al, 2001(Bernhardt et al, , 2005, the evolving technology of wireless MDs, including enhanced multimedia and improved wireless capabilities of more recent MDs, may expand the benefi ts of applying such technology for alcohol assessment. In particular, although preliminary evidence suggests that wireless MDs may be an effective tool for delivering individually tailored messages to reduce drinking among college students , future research is needed to examine both the assessment and intervention capabilities of more recent, more advanced wireless MDs over longer time periods.…”

“…For instance, wireless mobile devices (MDs) such as handheld computers, cellular phones, and smart phones provide a number of advantages over traditional paper-and-pencil methods of measurement and thus may be useful in improving the assessment of alcohol use among college students (Bernhardt et al, 2001).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study used a two-group randomized design to assess the validity of measuring self-reported alcohol consumption among college students using the Handheld Assisted Network Diary (HAND), a daily diary assessment administered using wireless mobile devices. Method: A convenience sample of college students was recruited at a large, public university in the southeastern United States and randomized into two groups. A randomly assigned group of 86 students completed the daily HAND assessment during the 30-day study and a Timeline Followback (TLFB) at 30-day follow-up. A randomly assigned group of 82 students completed the paper-and-pencil Daily Social Diary (DSD) over the same study period. Data from the daily HAND assessment were compared with the TLFB completed at follow-up by participants who completed the HAND using 95% limits of agreement analysis. Furthermore, individual growth models were used to examine differences between the HAND and DSD by comparing the total drinks, drinking days, and drinks per drinking day captured by the two assessments over the study period. Results: Results suggest that the HAND captured similar levels of alcohol use compared with the TLFB completed at follow-up by the same participants. In addition, comparisons of the two study groups suggest that, controlling for baseline alcohol use and demographics, the HAND assessment captured similar levels of total drinks, drinking days, and drinks per drinking day as the paperand-pencil DSD. Conclusions: The study fi ndings support the validity of wireless mobile devices as a daily assessment of alcohol use among college students. (J. Stud. Alcohol
