Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Health Research
  • Survey Methodology
  • Digital Health Technology

Background:

  • Computer self-administered questionnaires have been used for adolescent health behaviors for 20 years.
  • Hand-held computers offer ease of use and portability for in-school data collection.
  • This study introduces wi-fi enabled internet tablets for youth health and well-being surveys.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a new technology using wi-fi enabled hand-held internet tablets.
  • To compare adolescent preferences for internet tablets versus laptop computers in school-based surveys.
  • To assess the usability, privacy, and truthfulness of responses using different devices.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involved 177 students in a national youth health and wellbeing survey.
  • Students were randomly assigned to internet tablets or laptops, switching halfway through.
  • Post-survey, students indicated preferences regarding ease of use, privacy, and truthful answering.

Main Results:

  • No significant preference was found between internet tablets and laptops for many students.
  • A majority preferred internet tablets for perceived privacy and confidentiality (p < 0.001).
  • Students found internet tablets easier for answering truthfully compared to laptops (p < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Wi-fi enabled hand-held internet tablets are a feasible method for school-based surveys.
  • This technology is particularly effective for collecting sensitive information from adolescents.
  • Internet tablets enhance privacy and encourage truthful responses in youth health surveys.
