Complying with the COVID-19 safety guidance, ARCED Foundation provided extensive support in collecting data through telephone surveys. The Computer Assisted Telephonic Interview (CATI) surveys were 60 minutes long and were conducted with 400 secondary school teachers in Bangladesh.
The team at ARCED developed training materials, field protocols and manuals for the enumerators with the close collaboration of Principal Investigators to implement the survey. The enumerators were trained through webinars.
A SurveyCTO (ODK based) CATI toolkit for the phone surveys was developed and used by the enumerators. After the data collection process, Stata based High-Frequency Checks (HFC) were used to scrutinize data every day and to generate automated data quality reports.
ARCED also ensured automated comparison reports from backcheck and original surveys using backcheck surveys and a Stata based system.
