Objectives • Positively identify participants for follow up • Accurately Capture IHTAS information.
Processes in the system • Randomize 1655 persons aged 13-24 selected from KIDMS database. • Uploading residents data into laptops • Identification of participants in the field by FWs • Recording IHTAS data and anthropometric measurements • updates to the central database
Data Capture System • Use of ACASI • Inbuilt with skip pattern and validation checks • 3 languages • Questions are displayed and read aloud by the Computer • Total listening time: 30 – 45 minutes
Advantages of ACASI • Accurately measures stigmatized/sensitive behaviors • Headphones used to keep the interview private
Quality Control • Staging server conducts verification of the process • QC before Analysis to determine • Out of range checks • Logical checks • Check for missing values • Documentation of error instances • Correcting identified errors • Providing feedback to FWs
Challenges • Recharging of laptops • Expansive study region with challenging terrain during rainy season.
Conclusion • Standard survey information is efficiently delivered electronically • No violating anonymity • ACASI feasible for high risk groups, illiterate & computer-naïve persons • Recruits can play and re-play as needed
