Sumario:Introduction: Determinants of participation in longitudinal studies are crucial for prevent attrition. Aim: To analyze determinants of participation in a follow-up survey among nursing students. Materials and methods: Prospective longitudinal study among nursing students. We examined individual and contextual determinants of participation in an online follow-up survey (2018) among nursing students that had completed the paper-and-pencil questionnaire in baseline (2015–2016), using a multilevel logistic regression models. Results: From the 4381 baseline participants, we identified 3440 eligible persons. The number of participants in the follow-up survey was 1252 (28.6%). Determinants of participation at follow-up were being female, aged ≤19 year-old in comparison with those older than 20, and being a never smoker compared with a current smoker. Conclusions: Nursing students' participation at the online follow-up survey was moderate. Being female, aged ≤19 year-old, and being never smoker were determinants of participation. To boost participation in online surveys, some strategies such as adapted communications channels, the use of reminders and incentives should be included.
