Panel Study Sharing

Ms. Gina-Qian Cheung, Director of Survey Technologies, Survey Research Center, University of Michigan, U.S.A, gave us a presentation on using survey technology on panel study on July 22, 2010 at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Ms. Cheung introduced the usage of the Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) system and Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) system in supporting the data collection, data processing and analysis, and statistical analysis. Particularly, the CAPI system has two key components for sample management: Blaise and SurveyTrack. Also, the system collects paradata (data that describe the interviewees’ behavior and their surroundings) and integrates the paradata for sample management and reporting. Paradata will provide tremendous data for the development of social science research methodology.

美國密歇根大學調查研究中心調查科技主管Gina-Qian Cheung女士於2010年7月22日在香港科技大學講述了調查科技在社會科學調查中的應用。電腦輔助訪問系統 (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing, (CAPI) system)和電腦輔助電話訪問系統(Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) system)可應用於數據收集和分析。CAPI 系統包括Blaise and SurveyTrack，CAPI系統更能收集訪問環境數據，例如受訪者的居住環境和訪問時的行為、態度等資料，這些資料將可促進社會科學調查研究方法的發展。
