In Australia, Bilich et al. [ 10] carried out a randomised controlled trial into the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioural bibliotherapy manual with varied levels of telephone support.
26 32 34 Centre based programmes typically involved supervised exercise involving cycles and treadmills, while virtually all home based programmes were based on walking, with some level of intermittent telephone support from a nurse or exercise specialist (table 3).
Sensitivity in this context measured the ability of participants to accurately recall their level of mobile telephone use as high when they were actually high users and specificity measured the ability of participants to report use as low when they were clearly low users.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether additional telephone counseling improves attendance among nonresponders and the level of satisfaction with telephone counseling.
This study compared recall of parents' highest level of education in telephone and face-to-face surveys.
In the Hong Kong SAR, with its high level of education, a telephone survey found 36% of respondents agreed that buying live chickens was a health risk and only 9% estimated a >50% likelihood of resultant sickness [ 9].
The Bland-Altman plots for the FAI summary score, and EQ-5D VAS and utility scores are displayed and do not indicate a relationship between overall score and level of agreement between telephone and face-to-face administration.
It's akin to the level of similarity between a telephone call (mostly also packet-based now) and a cable television signal.
