Of 175 hospitals contacted by telephone prior to sending a large questionnaire by mail, 31% returned the survey. An additional 35% returned the survey after a second call so the over-all response rate was 66%. Analysis indicated that telephone contact may substantially increase response rate when provision is made for a follow-up call.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
