Abstract: The purpose of the Cell Phone and Debit Card test is to research alternative survey designs that could maximize the number of Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) interviews while minimizing the error associated with conducting fewer Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) interviews. Research findings from this test could prove useful for future rounds of the FHWAR and to other Census Bureau address-based surveys whose budgets will not allow for personal visit interviewing.
