Are you new to the CATI Survey business?
Conducting a CATI survey is simple when you have the right tool
If you are a researcher working in product marketing or in academia, you may already be familiar with the basics of how to conduct a CATI survey. Computer-assisted telephone interviewing is a popular and effective way to gather data for market research or an academic research project. Here are a few basics of how to work with CATI survey methodology so you can conduct an effective interview and collect the data you need.
What is CATI survey methodology
CATI stands for computer-assisted telephone interviewing. When you use a CATI survey for your research project, interviewers follow a script provided by a survey software application, such as IdSurvey CATI software. The interviewer inputs the responses into the software and pre-coded answer choices based on the respondent’s answers to each question. This is a fast and efficient way to gather data.
What makes CATI the right choice
CATI survey methodology is convenient for a variety of reasons. The personal touch with a voice interview can produce better engagement with respondents, as opposed to a web-only survey. Experienced interviewers know how to engage the respondent while the computer handles the technical aspects of the survey administration.
Software such as IdSurvey gives you the right platform for conducting your CATI survey. With IdSurvey, you do everything right from the same platform using an ordinary web browser. Setting up is easy and doesn’t require any additional software or special training, so you can get started right away. The software allows you to build your CATI survey from start to finish. You can add dynamic texts for interviewers to read, as well as program your questions to suit the exact needs of your research project.
