This study developed a data collection method, combining (i) random‐digit dialling and interactive voice response to sample and screen respondents and (ii) computer‐assisted telephone interviewing, to survey 2265 respondents during the 2014 Ebola epidemic. The response, cooperation, refusal and contact rates computed according to the American Association for Public Opinion Research were 51.97, 52.62, 41.85 and 98.77 per cent, for interactive voice response and 91.10, 91.65, 8.30 and 99.40 per cent for computer‐assisted telephone interviewing. A comparison with Demographic and Health Surveys confirmed that the sample is not nationally representative. However, this method offers promise for data collection at a low cost ($24) and without any in‐person interaction. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

流行期间收集数据：一种新颖的手机研究方法

本研究开发了一种数据收集方法，结合 (i) 随机数字拨号和交互式语音响应对样本和筛选受访者以及 (ii) 计算机辅助电话访问，在 2014 年埃博拉疫情期间对 2265 名受访者进行了调查。根据美国舆论研究协会计算的响应、合作、拒绝和联系率，交互式语音响应为 51.97%、52.62、41.85 和 98.77%，计算机辅助电话采访为 91.10、91.65、8.30 和 99.40% . 与人口和健康调查的比较证实该样本不具有全国代表性。然而，这种方法有望以低成本（24 美元）进行数据收集，而且无需任何面对面的互动。© 2020 约翰威利父子公司
