About this study

Official title: Comparison of Short Message Service (SMS), Interactive Voice Response (IVR), and Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) Mobile Phone Surveys for Non-communicable Disease Risk Factor Surveillance in Colombia

The objective of the study is to adapt and assess the feasibility, quality, and validity of short message service or 'text message' (SMS), interactive voice response (IVR), and computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) for collecting information on noncommunicable disease (NCD) risk factors

Read the detailed description

Using random digit dialing (RDD) sampling technique, RDD participants will be randomized to one of the three arms: 1) SMS or 2) IVR or 3) CATI. Participants in the first study arm will receive an SMS survey. Participants in the second study arm will receive a IVR survey. Participants in the third study arm will receive a CATI survey. The IVR, SMS and CATI questionnaires contain a set of demographic questions and one NCD module (alcohol, or tobacco, or diet, or physical activity, or blood pressure and diabetes). The investigators will examine contact, response, refusal and cooperation rates and demographic representativeness by each study arm.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cooperation Rate #1

    As defined by American Association for Public Opinion Research, cooperation rate is defined as I/(I+P+R) where I is the number of participants with complete interviews, P is the number of participants with partial interviews, and R is the number of participants with refusals and breakoffs.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of one month

  2. Response Rate #4

    As defined by American Association for Public Opinion Research, response rate is defined as (I+P)/(I+P+R+eU) where I is the number of participants with complete interviews, P is the number of participants with partial interviews, R is the number of participants with refusals and breakoffs, and eU is the estimated eligible proportion of unknowns

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of one month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Refusal Rate #2

    As defined by American Association for Public Opinion Research, refusal rate is defined as (R)/(I+P+R+eU) where R is the number of participants with refusals and breakoffs, I is the number of participants with complete interviews, P is the number of participants with partial interviews, and eU is the estimated eligible proportion of unknowns

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of one month

  2. Contact Rate #2

    As defined by American Association for Public Opinion Research, contact rate is defined as (I+P+R)/(I+P+R+eU) where I is the number of participants with complete interviews, P is the number of participants with partial interviews, R is the number of participants with refusals and breakoffs, and eU is the estimated eligible proportion of unknowns

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SMS Survey, IVR Survey and CATI Survey in people with Surveys and Questionnaires and Noncommunicable Diseases, run by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health at 1 site in Colombia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Colombia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cooperation Rate #1 (time frame: Through study completion, an average of one month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04506931, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Apr 2022.
