Abstract Physicians represent a survey target group that is difficult to reach and often has low compliance rates. Inclusion of incentives has been shown to increase response rates but few systematic studies have compared the effect of mode on physician response rates. Some earlier studies found little evidence that web administration improved response rates even though ease of completion and efficiency have been listed as factors affecting likelihood of response. Additionally, some evidence suggests that responses may differ based on mode of administration. In this study, mode of initial administration was manipulated in a 3-group experiment. Physicians were randomly assigned to web, paper, or choice (either web or paper) in initial survey recruiting. In the follow-up, both web and paper were offered to all respondents. The effect of mode on initial response rates will be presented and discussed. Comparisons of data quality between web and paper responses will also be presented.
