| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS TAR0xSbQ. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective. There has been insufficient research on the infaence of ethroculura and anguage differences in public health surveys. Using data from three independent studies, the authors examine methods to assess data cuality and to identify causes of problematic survey questions. Methods. Qualitative and quartitative methods were used in this exploratory study, including seconcary analyses of data from three baseline surveys (conducted in Engisn, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandaric, and Vietnamese). Conection of additional data included interviews with investigators and interviewers ; observations of tem development ; focts groups ; think-aloud interviews ; a test-retest assessment survey ; and a piloz test of alternatively worded questions. Results. The authors identify undenying causes for the 12 most probiematic variaoles in three multiethnic surveys and describe them in terms of ethnic differences in reliability, validity, and cognitive processes (interpretation, merrory retmeval, judgment formation and response editing), and differences with regard to cultural appropriateness and translation problems Conclusions. Multiple complex elements affect measurement in a multiethnic survey, many of which are neither readily observed nor understood through standard tests of data quality Multiethoic survey questions are best evaluated using a vanety of quantitative and qualitative methods that reveal different types and causes of problems. |
