Abstrakt: This paper reports a study comparing the efficacy of financial incentive and personal contact in facilitating response to a mailed questionnaire. For 89 partially sighted school leavers the combination of factors significantly increased the speed of return of the questionnaires but did not affect the eventual response rate. The results highlight the limitations of single-variable studies of response-rate facilitators.
