Abstract

The data-quality case for telephone (CATI) interviewing in healthcare research — why self-administered online panels struggle to deliver trustworthy data for small, high-value clinical populations, where HCP panel quality breaks down, what a live clinical interview verifies that a form cannot, the fidelity a conversation captures, where self-administered modes still win, and what one fraudulent clinician costs downstream. Grounded in peer-reviewed work by Gordon et al. and Causer et al., industry data-quality estimates, the ICC/ESOMAR Code, and ISO 20252.
