DATA PROCESSING

For data gathering and data entry purposes IDOS uses one of the following methods:

  • Face to face interviews, in which a paper questionnaire is used (PAPI). Data entry takes place manually.

  • Face to face interviews, in which a paper questionnaire is used. Data entry takes place by means of scanning the questionnaire.

  • Face to face interviews, in which a device is used (CAPI). Data entry takes place immediately.

  • A combination of the three.

  • For data processing and analysis SPSS or SNAP is used. IDOS is a license holder of both software packages.

  • IDOS is most experienced in PAPI and CAPI and will also focus on CATI and CAWI methods in the near future.
