Behavioural Surveillance Surveys - The Wisdom of Whores

FIELDWORK FORMS
The following set of forms are designed to help organize the fieldwork for behavioral surveillance
surveys. They are especially useful for cluster designs and will help with the following tasks :
• selecting sample clusters for each target group in a systematic fashion
• assignment of supervisors and interviewers to selected survey sites
• tracking essential cluster information (to be used for weighting and cluster analysis)
• tracking refusal rates for each target group, by cluster
Forms are presented with instructions on how to use them.
Form 1
Form 2
Form 3
Form 4
Cluster Selection Sheet for PPS sampling should be used to help select which clusters are
to be included in the sample. It should be used when clusters are being selected with
probability proportional to size
Cluster Selection Sheet for EP sampling is similar to Form 1, however it should be used
when cluster are selected with equal probability
Assignment Information Sheet can be used by the supervisor to assign an interviewer (or
team of interviewers) to work in the selected clusters
Cluster information sheet should be used to keep track of essential cluster information
that will be needed to calculate sampling probabilities and weight the data
