Data Collection Notes
The interviewer training was organized from 4 September to 18 September 2008. Data collection activities started with the appointment of 10 teams with 7 members in each team. Each consisted of five interviewers: three to interview females, two to conduct male and household interviews, one reviewer, and one supervisor. When the data collection activities started, it was almost winter; therefore, to ensure safe travelling arrangements, it was planned to first cover the mountainous and forested western regions of the country, then the Gobi and central regions, and lastly Ulaanbaatar. Data collection started on 22 September and ended on 26 December 2008.
As with the previous RHS, reviewers were appointed for each team; reviewers and supervisors were able to review questionnaire responses daily and clarify them by going back to the households when necessary. Organizing the fieldwork this way ensured high-quality and reliable information. Data collection progress was reported weekly to survey headquarters at the NSO. A number of peoeple from various aimags, cities, soums, districts, baghs and horoos (around 560 people) provided great assistance and collaboration during the fieldwork operation.
