TWO ONE-STEP METHODS FOR HOUSEHOLD SCREENING AND INTERVIEWING USING RANDOM DIGIT DIALING1
Reprint requests to Dr. Bernard L. Harlow at present address: Brigham and Women's Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Epidemiology Center, 221 Long-wood Avenue, Boston, MA 02115
Random digit dialing is commonly used to select controls for epidemiologic studies. The traditional method of random digit dialing entails screening households to obtain a pool of eligible subjects and then selecting a random sample to serve as controls. Two random digit dialing methods are described in which household screening and interviewing are combined into one step. The advantages and limitations associated with both of the one-step methods and the traditional two-step approach are discussed.
