Data Collection Mode
Face-to-face [f2f]
Over 100 people were recruited by the NPC to serve as supervisors, field editors, male and female interviewers, quality control personnel, and reserve interviewers. Efforts were made to recruit highcalibre personnel who came from all of the 36 states and the FCT to ensure appropriate linguistic and cultural
diversity. They all participated in the main interviewer training, which was conducted from February 17 to March 8, 2003. The training was conducted in English and included lectures, presentations by outside experts, practical demonstrations, and practice interviewing in small groups.
The practice interviews were conducted in the languages that the questionnaires were translated into: English, Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba.
Practice in certain less common dialects was also accomplished by translating directly from the English questionnaires. All of the field staff participated in three days of field practice. Finally, a series of special lectures was held specifically for the group comprising supervisors, field editors, quality control
personnel, and field coordinators.
Fieldwork for the 2003 NDHS took place over a five-month period, from March to August 2003.
Twelve interviewing teams carried out data collection. Each team consisted of one team supervisor, one field editor, four female interviewers, one male interviewer, and one driver. Special care was taken to monitor the quality of data collection. First, the field editor was responsible for reviewing all questionnaires
for quality and consistency before the team's departure from the cluster.

Each team consisted of one team supervisor, onefield editor, four female interviewers, one male interviewer, and one driver. Special care was taken to monitor the quality of data collection. First, the field editor was responsible for reviewing all questionnaires for quality and consistency before the team’s departure from the cluster. The field editor and supervisor
would also sit in on interviews periodically.
Twelve staff assigned from the NPC coordinated fieldwork activities and visited the teams at regular intervals to monitor the work. In addition, quality control personnel independently reinterviewed selected households after the departure of the teams. These checks were performed periodically through the duration of the fieldwork. ORC Macro also participated in field supervision.
