Targeting ninth grade students (15–16-year-olds), the system is based on self-administered paper-and-pencil responding in school classes supervised by teachers who follow a strict data collection procedure. The respondents fill out the anonymous questionnaire in a classroom situation supervised by a teacher. Originally, the decision to use teachers as data collectors was influenced by an Icelandic methods study which indicated that student responses to drug use-related questions were not influenced by the supervision mode used (outside vs. teacher supervision, see Bjarnason 1995). The finding was subsequently supported by a Swiss study where Lucia et al. (2007) compared paper-and-pencil data collection with computerized data collection. Here, the paper-and-pencil data collection situation was supervised by outside researchers, while most of the computer mode data collection was supervised by a teacher (p. 47). Since the findings were roughly similar in both paper & pencil and computer conditions, this suggests that the mode of supervision did not have a considerable impact on the results. More recently, a Swiss study examined the influence of supervision condition in computerized data collection, and observed few if any differences (Walser & Killias, forthcoming). In the future, the FSRD will be shifted to computer-based administration. In that context, various types of methodological research are conducted. This research brief reports on the findings of a preliminary test of supervision mode influences within the paper-and pencil mode.
