Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing

Computer-assisted personal interviewing is a method in which interviewers administer surveys in person using a laptop or tablet. The device delivers the questionnaire, manages complex skip patterns, and records responses directly into the system. RTI uses this approach for studies that require face-to-face interaction, detailed probing, or visual aids.
