Peer reviewedFletcher, Linda A.; Erickson, Darin J.; Toomey, Traci L.; Wagenaar, Alexander C. – Evaluation Review, 2003
Compared data collected through paper survey forms to data collected with handheld computer-based forms in a field study of alcohol purchase attempts at 47 community festivals. Agreement between the two methods was greater than 95%. Findings show handheld computers to be a feasible alternative to paper forms for field data collection. (SLD)

Peer reviewedLaFond, Colette; Toomey, Traci L.; Rothstein, Catherine; Wagenaar, Alexander C.; Manning, Willard – Evaluation Review, 2000
Evaluated the accuracy of three methods used to obtain policy data: (1) government surveys; (2) secondary sources; and (3) historical legal research. Findings from a study of changes in state legislation show legal research to be most accurate for established laws, but multistage data best for recent laws. (SLD)
