testing skype as an Interview method in epidemiologic research response and feasibility
International Journal of Public Health, 2012Co-Authors: Tobias Weinmann, Silke Thomas, Susanne Brilmayer, Sabine Heinrich, Katja RadonAbstract:Despite its popularity, Skype has not been tested as a tool for epidemiologic research. We examined its feasibility in Germany. A population-based sample of young adults was randomly invited to a Skype (n = 150) or a Phone Interview (n = 150). Response and duration of Interviews were analysed to evaluate the feasibility of Skype Interviews. Response was low and, with 10 % (95 % CI 5–15 %), even worse among Skype candidates, compared to 22 % (15–28 %) in the Phone group. A third of the Skype group asked for being Interviewed by Phone. Median duration was 34.0 minutes for Skype Interviews and 37.0 minutes for Phone Interviews. Skype is not yet a feasible tool for data collection in Germany.

the brief child and family Phone Interview bcfpi 1 rationale development and description of a computerized children s mental health intake and outcome assessment tool
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2009Co-Authors: Michael H. Boyle, Charles E. Cunningham, Peter Pettingill, Sunjin Hong, Donna BohaychukAbstract:Background: This study describes the development of the Brief Child and Family Phone Interview (BCFPI) – a computer-assisted telePhone Interview which adapts the revised Ontario Child Health Study’s (OCHS-R) parent, teacher, and youth self-report scales for administration as intake screening and treatment outcome measures in children’s mental health services. It focuses on the factor structure of the BCFPI’s hypothesized parent-reported child mental health scales describing attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD), separation anxiety disorder (SAD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and major depression (MDD). Methods: Data for the analysis come from an OCHS-R measurement study that included two groups of children and adolescents selected from the same urban area: a general population sample (n = 1,712) and a clinic-referred sample (n = 1,512); and a third sample that was enlisted in a province-wide implementation study of clinic-referred 6- to 18-year-olds (n = 56,825). We used confirmatory factor analysis to assess the factor structure of the BCFPI scales in different populations and to test measurement equivalence across selected groups. Results: Despite the strong constraints imposed on the measurement models, estimates of model fit across the three samples were comparable in magnitude and approached the cut-offs suggested for the GFI and CFI (>.9) and RMSEA (<.05). Measurement equivalence was demonstrated between the OCHS-R clinic and provincial implementation samples. Within the implementation sample, the factor structure of the BCFPI scales was equivalent for boys versus girls and for 6- to 12- versus 13- to 18-year-olds. A companion paper examines the test–retest reliability, sensitivity, specificity, and validity of these BCFPI scales when used for screening. Conclusion: This project supports the feasibility and acceptability of a computer-assisted telePhone Interview for assessing emotional-behavioral problems of children and adolescents referred to children’s mental health services.

The Brief Child and Family Phone Interview (BCFPI): 2. Usefulness in screening for child and adolescent psychopatholog.
Journal of child psychology and psychiatry and allied disciplines, 2008Co-Authors: Michael H. Boyle, Charles E. Cunningham, Katholiki Georgiades, John D. Cullen, Yvonne Racine, Peter PettingillAbstract:Background: This study examines the use of the Brief Child and Family Phone Interview (BCFPI) to screen for childhood psychiatric disorder based on Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children Version IV (DISC-IV) classifications of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD), separation anxiety (SAD), generalized anxiety (GAD) and major depression (MDD). Methods: Data for analysis come from a sample of 399 children and adolescents aged 5–17 years old referred to child mental health outpatient services in three Ontario cities. Mothers were administered the BCFPI on three occasions: baseline, 2 and 13 months; and the DISC-IV on two occasions: 1 and 12 months. Results: Based on kappa, test–retest reliability for disorders classified by the BCFPI exceeded .50 for all conditions except MDD (.45). In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, area-under-the-curve (AUC) estimates for BCFPI scale score associations with DISC-IV classifications of disorder exceeded .80 for CD, ODD, ADHD and SAD; and were lower for GAD (.76) and MDD (.75). In stratified analyses, there were no statistically significant differences in AUC estimates for boys versus girls and 5 to 11 versus 12 to 17-year-olds. Conclusions: Classifications of childhood disorder derived from the BCFPI provided a reasonable approximation to disorders classified by the DISC-IV administered by lay Interviewers.

Cost effectiveness of screening for clinical trials by research assistants versus senior investigators.
Journal of psychiatric research, 1999Co-Authors: Nina L. Miller, John C. Markowitz, James H. Kocsis, Andrew C. Leon, Susan T. Brisco, Jessica L. GarnoAbstract:This study evaluates the relationship between Interviewer level of experience and the positive predictive value and cost of telePhone screening of subjects for randomized clinical trials. This is a previously uninvestigated area. Respondents to advertisements for chronic depression treatment research received brief, semi-structured telePhone Interviews (N = 347) either by research assistants (RAs) or by a senior investigator (SI). Those who met criteria based on the Phone Interview were then Interviewed in person using the SCID-P. The RAs did not significantly differ from the SI in the proportion of Phone screen positives who were also SCID positive or the proportion of Phone screen positives who were randomized. While the SI performed Phone Interviews significantly faster than the RAs, the SI's higher salary generated a Phone screening cost per randomized subject 56% more than that of RAs. The results suggest that trained research assistants are more cost effective than senior investigators for initial screening of depressed patients for research protocols. Further studies are needed to determine whether the findings reported would generalize to other research settings or patient populations.
