There are three main types of survey methodologies:\u00a0<strong>web-based surveys (CAWI)<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>telephone-based surveys (CATI)<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>face-to-face interviews (CAPI)<\/strong>. All of these methodologies use a computer to collect data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Computer-assisted personal interviews<\/strong>, or\u00a0<strong>CAPI<\/strong>, have many benefits.

One potential drawback to this methodology is that not all locations have a wi-fi or computer connection for conducting the interview.
