Quality Control • Staging server conducts verification of the process • QC before Analysis to determine • Out of range checks • Logical checks • Check for missing values • Documentation of error instances • Correcting identified errors • Providing feedback to FWs
Challenges • Recharging of laptops • Expansive study region with challenging terrain during rainy season.
Conclusion • Standard survey information is efficiently delivered electronically • No violating anonymity • ACASI feasible for high risk groups, illiterate & computer-naïve persons • Recruits can play and re-play as needed
