The paper focuses on methods of successfully training interviewers to use CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing). It reviews the two NLSY CAPI experiments, 1989 in Ohio and 1990 nationwide, and outlines the interviewer training model developed by NORC to implement CAPI for the NLSY. The following topics are discussed: (1) choosing the proper training site, encompassing proper electrical capacity, sufficient number of phone jacks, and secured storage for computers; (2) obtaining proper equipment, such as laptop computers, overhead projectors, and slide projectors; (3) preparing materials including the CAPI training manual; (4) structuring training sessions, consisting of self-study, a 2-day introduction to the NLSY, and a 3-day introduction to CAPI; (5) developing a training approach, including training groups, varied delivery of material, mock interviews, and transmission training; as well as (6) obtaining technical support for the training period, involving programmers, trainers, senior field staff, other interviewers experienced in CAPI. |
