Re: modes of measurement

I published a paper a few years ago comparing face to face with 
computer assisted self-report in the measurement of sexual 
victimization. The data was from the British Crime Survey, 
although comparisons were made with the NCVS (pre and post 
redesign) and the Canadian Violence Against Women Survey 
prevalence estimates.  

The full reference , if you are interested is

Percy, A. and Mayhew, P. (1997) 'Estimating sexual victimisation 
in a national crime survey: a new approach'.  Studies on Crime 
and Crime Prevention. 6(2) 125 - 150,
