Abstract Aims: Describe the benefits and limitations of using a Multimedia Computer Assisted Self Interview (M-CASI) to undertake a national population based survey of adolescent health and wellbeing.
Methodology: A consultative process identified a lack of current representative data on the health and wellbeing of New Zealand’s adolescents. A questionnaire developed from existing and new items was incorporated into a software package then piloted. A total of 9,699 secondary schools students (ages 12 to 18 years) from across New Zealand participated in a health survey using the refined M-CASI.
Results: M-CASI allowed a large database of questions to be administered using a complex branching design. Laptop computers with passive matrix screens were able to enhance participants’ perceptions of confidentiality, which may have improved the honesty of responses. Students reported high acceptability of the computer interface including text-to-speech audio design. Responses automatically coded then directly imported into SAS statistical software ensured accurate, efficient transfer from data collection to analysis. Limitations in using this survey technology on a large scale included constraints placed on data collection.
Conclusions: M-CASI is a feasible and acceptable methodology. M-CASI has potential advantages in administering adolescent health surveys.
