title: Increasing return rates to a mail survey among health educators.
abstract: This study indicated a combination of methods increased the return rate (80%) in a national survey of health educators (n = 546). Also, use of a $1.00 bill incentive was not significantly more effective than no incentive, and the rate of double responses in this anonymous mail survey was very low (1%).
