CATI Projects

Traders – difficult to reach audience
A US-based financial media firm wanted to target professionals trading large volumes of block shares using EFTs. Time is literally money for these folks, but AMR used CATI to both find and engage these decision-makers.

Doctors – long CATI interviews
Medical research requiring careful recruitment of doctors, in 6 countries over 4 years, who treated hereditary angioedema. AMR conducted 60 minute IDIs with results informing a global initiative to combat the disease.

What is CATI?

CATI stands for Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing. It is a method for conducting surveys. Calling and data processing is automated by a special software.

Questionnaires can be programmed in the CATI program. The CATI program calls the respondents, takes care of routing through the questionnaires, ensures compliance with the survey logic and stores the data. During an interview, the interviewer reads questions from the computer and enters the respondent’s answers into the computer. CATI has replaced traditional telephone interviews and is well suited for international studies.

When to use CATI?

Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing is the current standard for telephone surveys. If you want to commission an international study in a relatively short time, where the personal interview ensures appreciation and quality, CATI is the right method.

In addition, CATI is ideal for target groups that are difficult to reach. Even in global studies, CATI retains the personal touch. Often, CATI interviews have a higher level of quality. Particularly with B2B target groups or difficult interview topics, personal attention from an interviewer can be crucial.

What are the pros and cons of CATI?

The biggest advantage of CATI is the interviewer: not only can he or she get respondents to participate in the interview much better than an online form, but the interview itself is of higher quality: the interviewer can ask follow-up questions, identify inconsistencies directly, make sure respondents understand the question, and give concise, clear as well as detailed answers.

On the downside, CATI can be more expensive than online surveys and take longer to prepare: Interviewers need to be trained and briefed – and for some languages, interviewers sometimes need to be recruited first.

Thanks to call technology, CATI can be deployed quickly around the world while retaining the personal touch: the face-to-face interview makes interviewees feel valued, the interviewer can convince interviewees to take part in an interview, and ensure the quality of responses during the interview.
