VI. Editing the Interview

After you have completed each interview, you will edit the questionnaire.  Editing consists of re-reading the questions and answers making sure that every question has been answered, to correct errors you may have made in coding, and to make sure that notations such as NANS for “don’t know,”  or if the respondent refused to answer, P for “used probing”, or any other note or explanation is clearly written in the proper place on the form.  The site coordinator will also review the interview form a second time.  If errors or incomplete sections are found, the site coordinator will ask you to make the corrections and if necessary, contact the respondent for the missing information.

 

To each completed questionnaire, attach a control sheet with the following information (forms are in the Appendix):
