Questionnaires: CAPI years
nCAPI means Computer-Assisted Personal Interview.
nNLS interviews are now conducted using laptops. The computer determines which questions to ask based on internal calculations and "skip patterns" not seen by the interviewer or respondent.
nCAPI questionnaires are more complicated than their PAPI counterparts, because computerization permits more complex skip patterns.
nTo represent this computer-driven interview for researchers, the survey program produces a series of “question records,” which show both the actual questions and the skip pattern instructions that guide the instrument.
