However, telephone interviewing links the recruitment methodology (telephone subscribership) tiffany pendant sale the interviewing methodology. Many low-income children at high risk for STDs and pregnancy may not have telephones or may be more effectively reached in other neighborhood sites (e.g., health clinics, recreation centers, public housing, schools). By personally recruiting children where they live or spend time, interviewers may be more able to identify high-risk respondents and to assist them in completing interviews (cf. Coyle, Boruch, & Turner, 1991).

The ideal interview methodology would permit the flexibility tiffany bangle sale the FTF interview for recruiting and assisting respondents while at the same time giving respondents the privacy of a self-administered questionnaire. One solution is to administer questionnaires by computers that are programmed to present questions using the same rules that an interviewer would follow but at the same time avoiding public disclosure of the answers. Computer administration has been found to interviews. Romer et al tested the hypothesis that interviews delivered by talking computers would elicit more reports of sexual experience and positive feelings toward sex that FTF interviews with children.

One way to overcome the limitations of computer tiffany cufflink sale is to use portable "talking" computers that can present the interview over earphones and record responses confidentially (Johnston, 1992; Romer et al., 1994). Talking computers can retain the privacy of self-administered questionnaires while not requiring respondents to read large amounts of material or to expose their answers in public. Johnston (1992) showed that talking computers are feasible for interviewing adolescents in their homes about drug use. In this report, we provide the first evidence that using talking computers to interview children across a wide developmental range elicits more reporting

of sexual behavior and feelings than do FTF interviews.tiffany money clip sale the reporting of socially sensitive information (Kiesler & Sproull, 1986), including adolescent sexual experience (Millstein & Irwin, 1983). However, this mode of presentation shares the same limitation as self-administered questionnaires. Respondents who differ greatly in cognitive development or cultural background or who have difficulty following written instructions may require oral presentation to reduce differences in comprehension and interpretation.
