C-12Sample completes (n=1,178) and 11 percent of Ticket Participant completes (n=123) wereobtained via CAPI.Proxy interviews were completed for 1,997 sample persons (26 percent of allcompletes). In most cases, approximately 77 percent, a proxy was necessary because thesample person failed the cognitive assessment or was otherwise determined to be unable torespond due to a cognitive, or mental, impairment. Interviews were completed by proxy for1,901 sample persons in the Representative Beneficiary Sample (29 percent of completes)and 96 sample persons in the Ticket Participant Sample (9 percent of completes).An analysis of selected respondent characteristics indicates a few differences betweenCATI and CAPI respondents, and between respondents requiring a proxy interview and allinterviews (Table C.3). Relative to CATI respondents, CAPI respondents were more likelyto be: SSI-only recipients; black; younger; to have achieved lower levels of education; and tohave experienced childhood onset of disability. Relative to all respondents, those requiring aproxy interview were much more likely to be sample members with mental retardation andwho experienced childhood onset of disability, and were somewhat more likely to be: male;SSI-only recipients; younger; of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity; and employed at interview.Appendix C: National Beneficiary Survey Methodology
