observational research observational methodology parenting covid military families parenting in-person reliability methods collected collection observational data remoteZusammenfassung
Many conventional research methods employed in randomized controlled trials were not possible during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In particular, behavioral observations are nearly universally gathered in-person.
Observational methods are valued for the rich, informative data they produce in comparison to non-observational methods and are a cornerstone of parenting and family research.
COVID provided the opportunity to, and indeed necessitated, the transition to fully remote observation.
However, little to no studies have investigated whether remotely collected observational data are methodologically sound.
This paper assesses the feasibility of remote data collection by describing the transition between in-person and fully remote observational data collection during a Sequential, Multiple Assignment, Randomized Trial (SMART) of a parenting program that took place both before and during the pandemic.
Using mixed-methods data from coders, the overall quality of video-recorded data collected both before and during COVID was examined.
Coder reliability over time was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficients.
Results suggest that the frequency of audio problems, the severity of visual problems, and the level of administration challenges decreased after transitioning to remote data collection.
Additionally, coders showed good to excellent reliability coding remotely collected data, and reliability even improved on some measured tasks.
Although challenges to remote data collection exist, this study demonstrated that observational data can be collected feasibly and reliably.
As observational data collection is a key method to assess parenting practices, these findings should improve researcher confidence in utilizing remote observational methods in prevention science.
