Handheld Devices

We were an early adopter of handheld computers for collecting survey data. As part of the 1999 National Household Survey of Drug Abuse (now the National Survey of Drug Use and Health), we collected screener data from over 100,000 households using the Apple Newton. Since then, we have incorporated handheld computers into dozens of studies, and we have recently developed an ACASI application for handheld computers as well.
