Cross-sectional Survey of Chinese Students

A cross-sectional survey was developed in China that collected data through a self-administered online structured questionnaire from July to December 2021 among undergraduate and graduate students with different disciplinary backgrounds from 7 universities in Guangzhou. In total, 10,008 participants were recruited through WeChat, while 9361 university students completed the questionnaire with a response rate of 93.5%. The online survey was anonymous, and data were encrypted for added security protection. Before entering the online survey system, all participants reviewed and approved the electronic consent page. By prohibiting users with the same IP (Internet Protocol) address from accessing the survey more than once, duplicate entries were avoided. Incomplete surveys were not sent to the system because of a missed response reminder component that alerted participants in real time about incomplete surveys. This investigation was conducted after obtaining the approval of the Ethics Review Committee (IRB), whose approval number is SYSU202108001.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
