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.
Overall statistics¶
There are two numerical columns, where enumerators were asked to provide a score (between 0 and 10).
Comfortability¶
Question: How comfortable did you feel asking the respondents questions today? Most people respondend with 8 or more this can be confirmed with the fact that the 25th percentile is 7 whereas the 50% percentile is 9
Understanding¶
Question: How difficult was it to make yourself understood? The mean is at around 6. However, with a standard deviation of 3.2 one can conclude that most of the datapoints here are not close to the mean.
