“…We used a RDD approach and were able to gather the perspectives of individuals across the province; however, we cannot safely exclude the possibility of response biases by virtue of our study design and recruitment strategy. Additionally, reporting response rates in RDD studies is problematic as the overall number of refusals/hang-ups/wrong numbers is difficult to track with certainty [ 20 ]. This study also has notable strengths, including the random sample of individuals from across the province, and the focus specifically on self-management in older adults which is an understudied area.…”

“…Residents of British Columbia aged 65 and above were contacted using a random-digit dialing (RDD) method [ 20 ] that randomly contacted both land lines and mobile phones within the province. Contacted households were asked to identify if an older adult aged 65+ lived in the household, and if so, if they had been diagnosed with or treated for cancer in the last 2 years.…”

Background: Older adults living with cancer can experience significant challenges in managing their cancer treatment[s], care, and health. Cancer self-management is much discussed in the research literature, but less is known about the perceptions and experiences of older adults’, including their self-management capacities and challenges. This study explored the factors that supported and hindered cancer self-management for older Canadian adults living with cancer. Methods: We conducted a 17-item population-based telephone survey in the Canadian province of British Columbia among older adults (age ≥ 65) living with cancer. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze quantitative data and thematic analysis for open-text responses. Results: 129 older adults participated in the study (median age 76, range: 65–93), of which 51% were living with at least one other chronic illness. 20% reported challenges managing their cancer treatment and appointments, while only ~4% reported financial barriers to managing cancer. We organized the findings around enabling and encumbering factors to older adults cancer self-management. The main encumbering factors to self-management included health system and personal factors (physical and emotional challenges + travel). Whereas enablers included: access to interpersonal support, helpful care team, interpersonal support and individual mindset. Conclusions: Considering factors which enable or encumber older adults’ cancer self-management is critical to supporting the growing aging population in the work required to manage cancer treatment and navigate cancer services. Our findings may guide the development of tailored resources for bolstering effectual self-management for older Canadians living with cancer.

“…However, the included studies lacked information on techniques unique to telephone surveys, including computerassisted telephone interviewing (CATI), a Reactive Auto Dialer (RAD), random-digit dialing (RDD), and short message service (SMS). CATI signifies any computer-supported feature of telephone interviews, both hardware and software, which can be a sole part or combined components [19]. RAD allows automatic and optimized calls [20].…”

Introduction During the COVID-19 crisis, researchers had to collect data remotely. Telephone surveys and interviews can quickly gather data from a distance without heavy expense. Although interviewer-administered telephone surveys (IATS) can accommodate the needs in international public health research, the literature on its use during infectious disease outbreaks is scarce. This scoping review aimed to map characteristics of IATS during infectious disease outbreaks. Methods IATS conducted principally during infectious disease outbreaks and answered by informants at least 18 years old were searched from PubMed and EBSCO. There was a manual addition of relevant documents identified during an initial search. Global trends were reported using different groupings, and study details were compared between before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results 70 IATS published between 2003 and 2022 were identified. 57.1 % were conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, some changes in the use of this data collection modality were observed. The proportion of IATS in LMICs rose from 3.3 % before the COVID-19 pandemic to 32.5 %. The share of qualitative studies grew from 6.7 % to 32.5 %. IATS performed during the COVID-19 pandemic focused on more diverse, specific population groups, such as patients and healthcare professionals. The usage of mobile phones to do IATS studies increased from 3.3 % to 25.0 %. Conclusion IATS are used globally with high frequency in the Western Pacific Region and high income countries. During the COVID-19 pandemic, IATS was performed in more countries to investigate more diverse target populations. Nonetheless, researchers should consider how to address technical and financial challenges for ITAS to be more inclusive and representative. For better use and more efficient deployment of IATS, methodological details need to be exchanged.

Objetivo. Estimar la frecuencia con la que se consumen algunos alimentos recomendables y no recomendables durante la pandemia por Covid-19 en México, y su asociación con características sociodemográficas y seguridad alimentaria. Material y métodos. Se analizó la Encuesta de Seguimiento de los Efectos del Covid en el Bienestar de los Hogares Mexicanos (Encovid-19). Se identificaron cuatro grupos con información de la frecuencia de su consumo y se estimaron modelos de regresión logística ajustando por características sociodemográficas y seguridad alimentaria. Resultados. Los niveles socioeconómicos más altos A/B y C se asociaron con una mayor frecuencia de consumo de alimentos recomendables y no recomendables. La inseguridad leve se asoció con un menor consumo de alimentos recomendables, y la inseguridad moderada y severa se asociaron con un menor consumo de todos los grupos estudiados. Conclusiones. Comprender la experiencia de la inseguridad alimentaria durante una crisis como la pandemia puede indicar la necesidad de incluir grupos de población tradicionalmente no considerados en los programas de apoyo.
