Telephone-assisted Survey — CATI Survey

A telephone-assisted survey is a structured data-collection method in which a trained interviewer administers a standardised questionnaire to respondents over the telephone, often supported by Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) software. It combines the efficiency of remote administration with the response-quality advantages of live interviewer guidance, making it widely used in social, public-health, market-research, and political polling contexts.
