|Interviewer: It is your job to select a random (this means any) household. A household is a group of people who presently eat together from the same |
|pot. |
| |
|Start your walk pattern from the start point that has been randomly chosen by your Field Supervisor. Team members must walk in opposite directions to |
|each other. If A walks towards the sun, B must walk away from the sun; C and D must walk at right angles to A and B. |
| |
|Use a 10 household interval pattern to select a household. That is, walking in your designated direction away from the start point, select the 10th |
|household for the first interview, counting houses on both the right and the left (and starting with those on the right if they are oppose each other). |
|Once you leave your first interview, continue on in the same direction, this time selecting the 10th household, again counting houses on both the right |
|and the left. If the settlement comes to an end and there are no more houses, turn at right angles to the right and keep walking, continuing to count |
|until the tenth dwelling. |
|Interviewer: If a call is unsuccessful, use the table below to record your progress until you make a successful call. Circle a code number for |
|unsuccesful calls only. |
