Abstract To rank the capabilities of three distinct modes of data collection to assess HIV-related knowledge and attitudes, a standardized set of questions, designed by CDC to assess knowledge of HIV transmission and stigma, was administered in August, 2001 to RDD household samples in (1) a large state with low incidence of high-risk behaviors as measured by reported sexually transmitted diseases (STDs); and (2) a geographically-distinct MSA with high incidence of STDs. Within each sample, 50% of targeted respondents received a combined computer-assisted self-interviewing (CATI) and telephone-audio computer-assisted self-interviewing (T-ACASI) instrument; the other 50% of the sample received the CATI for the entire interview. Results from this experiment were compared with those obtained in September, 2000 using the standard set of HIV transmission and stigma questions administered to a national household sample of web-enabled respondents. In all three analyses, respondents were categorized as stigmatizing by responding that they strongly agreed or agreed that those who contracted HIV through sex or drugs deserved it. Response rates were similar for each of the two RDD locations, while he overall response rate for the Internet survey was significantly higher than for the RDD samples. Measurements of HIV-related knowledge and stigma (approximately 16%, significantly higher among whites) were similar for all three modes.
