Abstract:
|
This report provides the results of research, testing, and analysis conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. CARI will allow more efficient sampling methods and a more focused reinterview program while maintaining the Census Bureau's standard of data quality. With the respondent's consent, CARI unobtrusively recorded the verbal exchange between the interviewer and the respondent without disrupting the normal interview process. While the broader goal of this research is to implement CARI into all of the Census Bureau's computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI) surveys, the present study accomplishes the following tasks: evaluate the impact of CARI on data quality, measure the audio quality of recordings collected during personal visit interviews, determine the impact of CARI on system performance, and obtain the reactions of respondents Field Representatives (FRs) to the use of CARI.
