Comfort during the interview?

Every day, we asked the enumerators to answer few questions related to their field experience:

  • How comfortable did you feel today during the interview?

  • Was it easy to communicate with the households?

  • How easy it was to be understood?

  • How did you describe the attitude of the respondent during the inteview?

General overview

Up to date, we collected 615 responses from 88 different enumerators. All questions were generally answred, with less 2% missing values concerning comfortability and easyness, 10% missing answers for the questions related to understanding, and 1.5% missing answers for the questions related to respondents’ attitude and feelings.

For quantitative questions the number of unique values/responses is within the expected range.
