“…The impact of the different modes of using SF-36 was assessed using weighted pooled measures of agreement for within-subject comparisons and random-effects meta-analysis for between-subject comparison. There were seven studies 104,111,112,[114][115][116][117] that provided betweensubject comparisons only, eight studies [119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126] that provided within-subject comparisons only and two studies 113,118 that contributed data to both analyses.

HTAMode of data elicitation, acquisition and response to surveys: a systematic review NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' .

“…Along with the development of computer technologies, the technique of electronic data collection can dramatically reduce required time and costs, and a proper man-machine interface can still facilitate the completion of a survey for interviewees (Velikova et al, 1999;Ryan et al, 2002;Caro Sr et al, 2001;Drummond et al, 1995;Wilson et al, 2002). In some European and American countries, the technique of electronic data collection has already been applied in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment.…”

Objectives: to verify the feasibility and reliability of the electronic version of Chinese SF-36 based on the Quality-of-Life-Recorder. Design: A crossover randomized controlled trial, comparing a paper-based and an electronic version of the Chinese SF-36, was conducted. According to generated random numbers, interviewees were asked to fill out either the electronic version or the paper version first. The second version was filled in after a pause of at least 10 min. Settings and participants: One group of 100 medical students at the School of Medicine of Zhejiang University and the other group of 50 outpatients at a clinic for general practice in Hangzhou City (China) were eventually recruited in this study. Results: The acceptance of the electronic version was good (60% of medical students and 84% of outpatients preferred the electronic version). At the level of eight-scale scores, the mean-difference for each scale (except for general health) between the two versions was less than 5%. At the level of 36 questions, the percentage of "exact agreement" ranged within 64%~99%; the percentage of "global agreement" ranged within 72%~99%; 77% of the kappa coefficients demonstrated "good/excellent agreement" and 23% of the kappa coefficients demonstrated "medium agreement". Conclusion: This study, for the first time, can provide empirical basis for the confirmation of the feasibility and reliability of the electronic version of the Chinese SF-36 and may provide an impulse towards widespread deployment of the Quality-of-Life-Recorder in Chinese populations.

“…Studies in many domains have demonstrated that computer administration of sensitive questions has been shown to increase reporting levels of sensitive behaviors, particularly in comparison with interviewer-based administration [73,74] as patients prefer and are more willing to disclose sensitive information to a computer rather than an interviewer [74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87]. Direct computer entry further enhances the quality of data by not allowing double or ambiguous answers [88], and it is often associated with a lower rate of unanswered questions than paper forms [80,82,85,88,89] because patients must provide a valid response to a question and/or press the "next" button to move on.Besides computer administration, several other alternatives to interviewer-based collection of adherence information are available. These include paper questionnaires, diaries, interactive voice response (IVR) calls, and text messaging.…”

Medication adherence plays an important role in optimizing the outcomes of many treatment and preventive regimens in chronic illness. Self-report is the most common method for assessing adherence behavior in research and clinical care, but there are questions about its validity and precision. The NIH Adherence Network assembled a panel of adherence research experts working across various chronic illnesses to review selfreport medication adherence measures and research on their validity. Self-report medication adherence measures vary substantially in their question phrasing, recall periods, and response items. Self-reports tend to overestimate adherence behavior compared with other assessment methods and generally have high specificity but low sensitivity. Most evidence indicates that self-report adherence measures show moderate correspondence to other adherence measures and can significantly predict clinical outcomes. The quality of self-report adherence measures may be enhanced through efforts to use validated scales, assess the proper construct, improve estimation, facilitate recall, reduce social desirability bias, and employ technologic delivery. Self-report medication adherence measures can provide actionable information despite their limitations. They are preferred when speed, efficiency, and low-cost measures are required, as is often the case in clinical care. KeywordsAdherence, Compliance, Self-management, Medication, Self-report Valid measurement of medication adherence plays a crucial role in healthcare and health research. When a patient is not benefiting from a medication regimen, clinicians need sound adherence information to determine whether the medication is ineffective or not being taken as prescribed. Assessing medication adherence during routine clinical care can further ensure that individuals in need of adherence support interventions receive them, ideally before deleterious outcomes occur. In the context of clinical research, proper interpretation of proof-of-concept trials testing new pharmacologic regimens requires valid adherence data, because any null findings may stem from poor adherence rather than a lack of drug efficacy. Research designed to understand and promote medication adherence also requires precise methods of adherence assessment.Among many approaches to assessing medication adherence, patient self-report measures remain the most common method [1][2][3][4][5][6]. These measures are defined by asking respondents to characterize their medication adherence behavior. Self-report measures of medication adherence range from simple singleitem questions regarding missed doses to complex multi-item assessments that incorporate reasons for nonadherence [7]. The widespread use of self-report adherence measures in clinical care and research reflects their low cost and ease of implementation across a large variety of medication regimens.There are two primary challenges related to selfreport measures of medication adherence. ImplicationsPractice: Routine assessment of medication...
