INCENTIVES TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN AN INTERNET SURVEY OF ALCOHOL USE: A CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT

Kypros Kypri* and Stephen J. Gallagher

Injury Prevention Research Unit, Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand

(Received 24 April 2003; first review notified 7 May 2003; in revised form 12 May 2003; accepted 29 May 2003)

Aims: To examine the use of the Internet in a survey of drinking among students, and the effectiveness of incentives to encourage participation. Methods: In a survey of drinking in university students, a random sample of 160 students were randomly assigned to one of four token incentive conditions. All received posted invitations, and reminders by e-mail and telephone. Results: Overall response was 85% and did not differ significantly by incentive condition. Conclusion: Internet surveys are effective in obtaining alcohol use information from students. Minimal incentives may suffice if coupled with intensive follow-up.
