TL;DR
There may be gender-related differences between modes of anonymous collection of specific adolescent health behaviors such as alcohol and marijuana use, and mode of administration made no significant difference in the reporting of information by adolescents.
Abstract
The findings of this study suggest that there may be gender-related differences between modes of anonymous collection of specific adolescent health behaviors such as alcohol and marijuana use. Future studies should incorporate direct questions regarding adolescents' attitude and comfort levels toward completing different modes of data collection.
