Abstract This paper describes the conversion from PAPI to CAPI of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and examines the implications of the move to CAPI for data quality. The BHPS is a panel survey of some 10,000 individuals in 5,000 households in Britain carried out by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) based at the University of Essex in the UK. Wave 9 of the BHPS went into the field using a CAPI mode of data collection for the first time in September 1999. Moving to CAPI midway in the life of a panel survey presents particular challenges including comparability of questionnaire design, secure fieldwork and sample management procedures, minimising mode effects, maintaining data quality, ensuring a positive response from respondents, adequate interviewer training and experience, and having secure data output routines in place. The paper describes the procedures adopted by the BHPS, including the design conventions implemented to maintain comparability between the PAPI and CAPI instruments, and the procedures used in the field to minimise any adverse reaction from panel respondents. The paper then assesses whether any mode effects are apparent within the data. The paper examines monetary amounts such as reported housing costs and income, the consistency of ome key measures such as economic activity status, occupation and industry, as well as questions requiring verbatim text entry and post-field coding. Using the PAPI data from earlier waves and the CAPI data from Wave 9, the data are compared to assess both cross-sectional consistency in the distributions as well as longitudinal comparability.
