Book excerpt: The latest computer assisted methods for survey research Computer assisted survey information collection (CASIC) methods arerapidly replacing traditional "paper and pencil" survey procedures.Researchers now apply computer technologies at every step of thesurvey process, from automating interviews and computerizing datacollection to data capture and preparation. CASIC techniques arereshaping today's survey research and methodology --and redefiningtomorrow's. Computer Assisted Survey Information Collection is the mostup-to-date and authoritative resource available on CASIC methodsand issues. Its comprehensive treatment provides the scope neededto evaluate past development and implementation of CASIC designs,to anticipate its future directions, and to identify new areas forresearch and development. Written in an array of evidentiary stylesby more than 60 leading CASIC practitioners from numerousdisciplines, this coherently organized volume: * Covers CASIC development and its integration into existingdesigns and organizations * Discusses instrument development and design * Examines survey design issues, including the incorporation ofexperiments * Discusses case management of automated survey systems * Evaluates training and supervision of computer assistedinterviewers * Reviews self-administered surveys, including optically scannablemail surveys * Considers emerging technologies, such as voice recognition,pen-CASIC, and the Web as a data collection tool. Supplemented with copious tables, figures, and references as wellas an extensive glossary, Computer Assisted Survey InformationCollection provides a solid foundation in CASIC for seasonedresearch-survey practitioners and graduate students across a broadspectrum of social science disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 100 years, the evolution of modern survey methodologyâ€"using the theory of representative sampling to make interferences from a part of the population to the wholeâ€"has been paralleled by a drive toward automation, harnessing technology and computerization to make parts of the survey process easier, faster, and better. The availability of portable computers in the late 1980s ushered in computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI), in which interviewers administer a survey instrument to respondents using a computerized version of the questionnaire on a portable laptop computer. Computer assisted interviewing (CAI) methods have proven to be extremely useful and beneficial in survey administration. However, the practical problems encountered in documentation and testing CAI instruments suggest that this is an opportune time to reexamine not only the process of developing CAI instruments but also the future directions of survey automation writ large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book forms a useful introduction to computer assisted interviewing. . . . The book offers useful practical tips for those previously involved in more traditional questionnaire design, and gives examples of how questions can be adapted for use in computer assisted interviews. . . . Anyone who is already convinced that a computer-assisted interview meets their data gathering needs will find the book a worthwhile addition to the literature on questionnaire design. --International Journal of Nursing Studies "A practical and self-contained manual for doing CADAC, written by an author with a lot of experience in this field. It also contains a helpful list of software firms (with addresses) and a good bibliography for further in-depth work on the subject." --Bulletin de Methodologie Sociologique "This is a useful resource for those wishing to explore CADAC techniques." --British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology Since survey research is a time-consuming and involved process, researchers have found the computer a boon for facilitating the recording and coding of survey responses. As a result, the use of computer-assisted data collection (CADAC) is growing each year. Aimed at aiding researchers in the improvement of their data′s quality, Computer-Assisted Interviewing will help the reader identify the possibilities and difficulties that arise in computer-assisted interviewing. Using concrete examples from surveys, the author annotates samples of actual research questionnaires so that the reader can compare the actual paper questionnaire against the extra statements needed for clear computer-assisted interviewing. In addition, the book includes coverage of the extra possibilities that computer-assisted interviewing has to offer to interviewer-administered interviewing, self-administered interviewing and panel surveys and an overview of the important features to consider if one wants to purchase a CADAC program.

Download or read book International Handbook of Survey Methodology written by Edith D. de Leeuw and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking into account both traditional and emerging modes, this comprehensive new Handbook covers all major methodological and statistical issues in designing and analyzing surveys. With contributions from the world's leading survey methodologists and statisticians, this invaluable new resource provides guidance on collecting survey data and creating meaningful results. Featuring examples from a variety of countries, the book reviews such things as how to deal with sample designs, write survey questions, and collect data on the Internet. A thorough review of the procedures associated with multiple modes of collecting sample survey information and applying that combination of methods that fit the situation best is included. The International Handbook of Survey Methodology opens with the foundations of survey design, ranging from sources of error, to ethical issues. This is followed by a section on design that reviews sampling challenges and tips on writing and testing questions for multiple methods. Part three focuses on data collection, from face-to-face interviews, to Internet and interactive voice response, to special challenges involved in mixing these modes within one survey. Analyzing data from both simple and complex surveys is then explored, as well as procedures for adjusting data. The book concludes with a discussion of maintaining quality. Intended for advanced students and researchers in the behavioral, social, and health sciences, this "must have" resource will appeal to those interested in conducting or using survey data from anywhere in the world, especially those interested in comparing results across countries. The book also serves as a state-of-the-art text for graduate level courses and seminars on survey methodology. A companion website contains additional readings and examples.
