Questionnaires, interview guides and tablet-based computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) applications built in CSPro.
- Who it helps
- Researchers, institutions and organisations planning a survey or interview study.
- What you get
- An instrument and, if needed, a CSPro CAPI application for tablets.
- How to start
- Describe your study, respondents and any platform you already use.
Two connected services
Design the instrument, then programme it
CAPI means interviewers record answers directly on a tablet instead of on paper. The questions themselves and the application that carries them are different pieces of work, and you can commission either or both.
Questionnaire and interview-guide design
We design questionnaires and interview guides from your research objectives and existing literature, aiming for questions that are relevant to the study and easy for respondents to understand.
CAPI application programming
We programme the instrument as a CSPro application for Android tablets, so interviews are captured digitally in the field and the data is available for daily checks under field data collection.
CSPro is the platform we have used
CSPro is the platform GABS has used for its CAPI work on the projects below. If you have not chosen a platform yet, you are welcome to enquire anyway. If you already use another platform, tell us and we will discuss what we can support.
How a CAPI project runs
- Agree the study objectives and respondents.
- Design the questionnaire or guide.
- Programme the CSPro CAPI application.
- Train enumerators to use it on tablets.
- Use it in the field with daily data checks.
- Export the data files.
Testing arrangements, revisions and the handover format are agreed with you when scope is discussed.
