Studies of sexual and other sensitive behaviors are often fraught with a variety of reporting biases. When IAQs are used to collect data, respondents may underreport certain sensitive behaviors and overreport normative behaviors. SAQs can also pose problems: requiring that respondents be literate and able to follow skip patterns. In recent years, the development of computerized technologies--audio-CASI and T-ACASI--have begun to overcome some of the limitations of IAQs and SAQs. By providing a more private mode for data collection and standardized delivery of all questions, as well as automated skip patterns and range checks, audio-CASI and T-ACASI have been tested in a number of studies and found to be an effective way of reducing response bias, and thus, contributing to a better understanding of the prevalence and patterns of sexual and other sensitive behaviors.
对性行为及其他敏感行为的研究常常充满各种报告偏差。当使用自填式问卷（IAQ）收集数据时，受访者可能会少报某些敏感行为而多报规范行为。结构化问卷（SAQ）也可能存在问题：要求受访者具备读写能力并能够遵循跳答模式。近年来，计算机技术——音频计算机辅助自我访谈（audio-CASI）和电话计算机辅助自我访谈（T-ACASI）的发展已开始克服IAQ和SAQ的一些局限性。通过提供更私密的数据收集模式、所有问题的标准化呈现，以及自动跳答模式和范围检查，音频计算机辅助自我访谈和电话计算机辅助自我访谈已在多项研究中得到测试，并被发现是减少应答偏差的有效方法，从而有助于更好地了解性行为及其他敏感行为的流行程度和模式。
