Research guide
Fieldwork turns a questionnaire into an operational system. The plan must cover who visits where, which device and survey version they use, how consent works, what happens without connectivity, and how supervisors detect problems.
Define assignments, routes or clusters, respondent selection, substitutions, training, device readiness, consent scripts, language support, escalation, and daily review before collection starts.
Review daily totals, duration, missingness, source, and optional location as quality signals rather than proof. Investigate patterns with supervisors and preserve an audit trail for corrections.
