We pay particular attention to the quality of information that we receive during the CATI research. It is achieved by supervision of interviewers during the interview.
Samples for CATI research are formed by RDD (Random Digital Dialing). Also KIIS use open database of numbers and its own base, which represents Ukraine's population by age and sex, for making up samples. KIIS use specialized database for conducting B2B research. KIIS has experience in research with top companies, public authorities and NGOs. CATI method helps to simplify the accessibleness of these respondents and obtain consent for conducting the interview.
