“…In our survey, there was a higher proportion of nonemployed and more educated subjects, in accordance to previous reports regarding telephone respondents (Ford 1998;Galan et al 2004;Pridemore et al 2005;Weeks et al 1983). This may contribute to explain the lower proportion of smokers that we found among men.…”

“…Second, the setting (hospital vs. home) and the mode of data collection (faceto-face interview vs. telephone) varied between baseline and follow-up assessments. This may have influenced patients' responses [38]. For instance responses to face-toface interviews can be more affected by social desirability than responses to telephone interviews [39].…”

“…Privacy concerns can bias responding when sensitive or socially undesirable information is gathered (Aquilino, 1992;Johnson et al, 1989;Pridemore et al, 2005;Turner et al, 1995). A response bias may occur in community recruitment of adolescent marijuana users if only those adolescents whose parents are aware of their drug use are willing to respond to advertisements for study participants.…”

Because of the widespread use of drugs by adolescents, there is demand for scientific rigor in sampling and accuracy in methods for ascertaining drug use patterns. The present study (1) characterized adolescents who responded to advertisements for marijuana users; (2) compared rates of drug use reported on the telephone versus an on-site interview; and (3) examined drug use patterns as a function of parental awareness of drug use. Adolescents identifying themselves as marijuana users during telephone interviews reported more use of other drugs than those denying marijuana use. There was a high degree of correspondence between telephone and on-site interviews for all drugs except alcohol, which was reported at a higher rate on-site. Of those reporting marijuana use in the past week, 69% tested positive for marijuana in their urine-drug screens. Finally, marijuana and alcohol use patterns were higher among adolescents whose parents were aware of drug use than those whose parents indicated that their adolescent did not use marijuana. These results indicate that adolescents are willing to self-identify as marijuana users and report drug and alcohol use during telephone interviews. Additionally, parents appear to become more aware of their adolescent's drug use with increased frequency of use.
