Abstract: | Os estudos de follow-up a consumidores de drogas permitem conhecer fatores
como alterações nos padrões de consumo, a efetividade de intervenções, entre
outros. Contudo, um dos principais problemas subjacentes a esta técnica é
conseguir taxas de resposta satisfatórias. Com base numa meta-análise
bibliográfica o presente artigo pretende: 1) descrever uma amostra de 220
artigos internacionais de follow-up a consumidores de drogas; 2) testar
preditores para a taxa de resposta nesta amostra. Conclui-se que existe uma
relação significativa entre a taxa de resposta e a existência de intervalos
regulares entre as vagas do follow-up, e que a existência de intervenção, isto é,
a tentativa de alterar comportamentos dos participantes, não tem efeito na taxa
de resposta. Follow-up studies applied to drug users allow us to know factors such as changes in consumption patterns, the effectiveness of interventions, among others. However, one of the main problems behind this technique is to get satisfactory response rates. Based on a literature meta-analysis this article aims: 1) to describe a sample of 220 international articles of drug users follow-up; 2) to test the predictors for the response rate in this sample. It follows that there is a significant relationship between response rate and the existence of regular pauses between the waves of the follow-up, and the existence of intervention, i.e., the attempt to change behaviors of the participants, has no effect on the rate response. |
