Abstract
Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) systems are recognised in Australia and internationally for their ability to provide timely and relevant data on the health of the population. The Second CATI Population Health Surveys Forum highlighted the importance of this system for surveillance and using this information to determine priority health issues, develop strategies, monitor effectiveness of interventions, and influence health policy. A national CATI data collection strategy is required to determine priorities for health surveillance. Several development and technical issues need to be addressed for such a national strategy to provide a coordinated approach to health surveillance.
