音频计算机辅助自我访谈（ACASI）是否比面对面访谈或setf管理的访谈更有效地报告性活动和相关行为？这项分析，从6,000多名未婚青少年在两个地区收集的数据的基础上，肯尼亚Nyeri和Kisumu-表明大量的和显着的差异，在报告率的婚前性行为的采访模式，虽然并不总是在预期的方向。与ACASI相比，我们认为女孩在面对面访谈中少报性活动的假设并没有得到Nyeri数据的证实，但我们在基苏穆的研究结果更有希望。至于男孩，我们认为他们在面对面的访谈中夸大了他们的性活动水平，我们提供了一套关于敏感行为报告的更微妙的期望，我们在基苏穆的结果，虽然并不总是显著的，但大体上符合预期。
Does audio computer-assisted self-interviewing (ACASI) produce more valid reporting of sexual activity and related behaviors than face-to-face interviews or setf-administered interviews? This analysis, based on data collected from over 6,000 unmarried adolescents in two districts Of Kenya-Nyeri and Kisumu-indicates substantial and significant differences in reported rates of premarital sex across interview modes, although not always in the expected direction. Our assumption that girls underreport sexual activity in face-to-face interviews by comparison with ACASI is not confirmed by the Nyeri data, but our results from Kisumu are considerably more promising. As for boys, who we believe exaggerate their level of sexual activity in face-to-face interviews, a more nuanced set of expectations regarding the reporting of sensitive behaviors was offered, our results from Kisumu, although not always significant, by and large conform to expectations.
