Data Collection Notes
Data collection was conducted from 21 March to 10 April under the supervision of the NSIR. A total of 25 experienced teams conducted data collection. Each team was composed of four interviewers, one supervisor and one driver. Training was organized for the supervisors and interviewers. The training included a general overview on how to conduct interviews and practice sessions with the questionnaire and with measurement instruments. Interviewers were expected to conduct an average of four interviews per day. Clear instructions on which households to interview and how to find them were provided and entered into fiches de ménages. Supervisors were provided with a list of over-sampled households in the event that a household had to be replaced. A standardized consent form was used to secure the participation of selected individuals. Participation was voluntary, and respondents did not receive any money or compensation for participating. Names were not recorded.
Questionnaires
The community questionnaire was developed using an approach similar to that of the household questionnaire. It used both a closed-ended and an open-ended, structured format and covered five areas (occupation, contextual information, HIV/AIDS, migration and market information).
