Abstract: CARI is a data collection method that captures audio along with response data during computer-assisted personal and telephone interviews. This survey will record portions of the interview, allowing the quality assurance analyst to evaluate the likelihood that the exchange between the field representative and respondent is authentic and follows critical survey protocol as defined by the sponsor and based on best practices. All people 15 years old or older in sample households are interviewed.
