SUMMARY:Live webinar | November 3 | Learn how GFEMS and ICF are using 
 Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing (ACASI) in modern slavery st
 udies to reduce social desirability bias
DESCRIPTION:Dear colleagues,\nAsking sensitive questions on surveys is
  often key to gathering necessary insights on some research topics. Gi
 ven the nature of these questions, however, respondents may feel uncom
 fortable and reluctant to respond accurately. To overcome this and ens
 ure quality data, there is a wide range of recommended methods, includ
 ing self-administered questionnaires. In a recent prevalence study, fu
 nded by The Global Fund to End Modern Slavery (GFEMS) and implemented 
 by the ICF, researchers used Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing
  (ACASI) in SurveyCTO to determine the proportion of children (ages 12
  – 17) in households who have been sexually exploited for commercial
  gain in the region of Karamoja, Uganda. ACASI helped to minimize the 
 social desirability bias in the responses provided for these sensitive
  topics.\nPlease join us for this live webinar where guest presenters 
 from GFEMS and ICF will share lessons learned from implementing ACASI 
 surveys in modern slavery studies:\nTitle - Learn how GFEMS and ICF ar
