| Abstract: This article reviews the capabilities, advantages, and disadvantages of three forms of automated data collection scannable data forms, Web-based forms, and handheld computers compared with the current standard of data entry by hand on paper forms. Each of these methods is reviewed with respect to ease of use, experience required of designer, end-user training requirements, costs, flexibility, speed, accuracy/error rate, potential for data loss, need for technical support, and equipment and/or software requirements. A discussion of their appropriate application to various kinds of studies is included, followed by examples of research studies using each of these methods. |
