Improving Data Quality through CAPI: Evidence from the 1994 NLSY Child and Young Adult Data Presented: San Francisco, CA, Population Association of America Meetings, April 1995 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI); Data Quality/Consistency; Methods/Methodology; Nonresponse; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Verbal Memory (McCarthy Scale) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The 1994 fielding of the NLS Youth marked the initiation of two new survey components, a comprehensive CAPI interview with the older children of the NLSY mothers and a conversion to CAPI much of the NLSY Child data collection. Launched on the heels of a full scale CAPI fielding of the NLSY in 1993, the 1994 NLSY Young Adult and Child CAPI surveys generally showed improvements in data quality. CAPI interviews were completed with by a Young Adult sample of 980 and a Child sample of 6040. This paper highlights some of the ways in which the introduction of CAPI affected survey completion rates, item nonresponse, and data preparation in the 1994 round of the NLSY Child and Young Adult. We address issues associated with the collection and processing of the child assessment data as well as the in-depth interviews completed with the older children of the female NLSY females. |
