Items in the CATI/CAPI/TQA Instruments that Differ From the Paper Questionnaire:


The CAPI interview begins with an introduction, confirmation that the interviewer has reached a housing unit at the correct address, and collection of any necessary location and mailing address corrections. If a CAPI interview needs to end before it is complete, the interviewer asks for a phone number (if possible) and a best time to call back to complete the interview. At the end of the CAPI interview, the interviewer thanks the respondent for their participation, informs the respondent that they may receive a call back from someone checking on their work (the ACS CAPI Reinterview program), and asks for a phone number and best time for such a call.


The CATI interview begins with verification of the phone number reached, confirmation that the interviewer has reached a housing unit at the correct address, and provides appropriate introductory information. The CATI interviewer also explains that a supervisor may be listening in on the call to monitor the interviewer's performance. If a CATI interview needs to end before it is complete, the interviewer asks for a best time to call back to complete the interview. At the end of the CATI interview, the interviewer thanks the respondent for their participation.


Respondents call the toll free number listed on the ACS paper questionnaire to obtain assistance or ask questions about the ACS. During this call, after the interviewer has verified that the respondent’s address is in the ACS sample, the interviewer encourages the respondent to complete the interview over the phone. At the beginning of the TQA interview, the interviewer enters control information, the sample address and the respondent’s telephone number into the TQA instrument. The TQA interviewer also explains that a supervisor may be listening in on the call to monitor the interviewer's performance. If a TQA interview needs to end before it is complete, the interviewer asks for a best time to call back to complete the interview. At the end of the TQA interview, the interviewer thanks the respondent for their participation and indicates in the instrument in what language the interview was completed.
