As a technique for data collection, NEOFACTS utilizes Computer-Assisted Personal Interviews (CAPI) which involve face-to-face interaction between the interviewer and the interviewee. During the interview, the interviewer utilizes modern electronic devices like tablets, mobile phones, or computers with preloaded questionnaires to ask and record the answers provided by the respondent.

The use of electronic devices in CAPI provides a more efficient, organized, and error-free way of collecting data. The interviewer can easily enter the respondent’s answers directly into the device, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Additionally, the use of CAPI ensures that the collected data is secure and can be easily accessed and analyzed.
