MICS4 Survey Design Workshop Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys Survey Design Workshop Some Features of MICS4 Questionnaires and Modules
2
Module codes and numbering Each module begins with the question number 1 preceded by two letters indicating the module subject e.g. HL1 (Household Listing Form) CL4 ( Child Labour) MN17 (Maternal and Newborn Health) MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
3
Text Text written with S MALL C APS to be read/asked to the respondent Text in lowercase letters –Response categories –Cover page questions Text in italics in the modules are instructions for the interviewers and not to be read out loud. MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
4
Other features Response categories in italics to be customized in country light grey backgroundQuestions or filters with a light grey background: to be completed by the interviewer, based on previous responses or observations. Should not be asked to the respondent. –Observations, filters MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
5
Types of Questions Questions with precoded responses, Questions without precoded responses, Filters MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
6
Questions with Precoded Responses For some questions, we can predict the types of responses a respondent will give. The responses are listed in the questionnaire, usually on the right, or below the question Responses are never to be read to the respondent unless included in the question MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
7
Questions with Precoded Responses Two types of response categories –Numeric: Only one response can be circled e.g., WS5, CM1, BF2 e.g, HC3 (precoded plus other answers allowed) –Letter: Multiple responses can be circled e.g., HW3, IR2, e.g., IS2 (precoded plus other answers allowed) The number or letter(s) which corresponds to the reply should be circled. MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
8
Questions with Precoded Responses In some cases, precoded responses will include an "other" category. Use Other when certain that the response does not fit in any precoded category Always write the respondent's answer in the space provided (specify: ______). Use margins, last page etc to provide more detail if necessary MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
9
Questions with Precoded Responses The coding of Dont know and other: In numeric response codes –8, 98, 998, 9998 = Dont know / DK –6, 96, 996, 9996 = Other (specify) In alphabetical (multiple response) codes –X = Other (specify) –Y = None –Z = Dont know / DK MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
10
Questions with No Precoded Responses In entering the response for these questions the respondent's answer must be written in the space provided Usually a number or a date will be recorded in the spaces provided e.g., HC2, HC14 If the response has fewer digits than the number of spaces provided, leading zeroes have to be used MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
11
Questions with No Precoded Responses Special cases: where a code is to be circled and a number is to be recorded –e.g., DB3, SB3 MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
12
Questions to be Completed by Interviewers (Precoded or not precoded) Hour and Minutes –e.g., HH18, HH19 Respondents characteristics –e.g., HL7, ED2, Observations –E.g., HW2, HW3 Instructions to Interviewers –e.g., TN3, CD1-CD8 MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
13
Filters Filters require interviewers to look back to the answer to previous responses, then mark an X in the box and follow skip instructions –e.g., TN7, ML10 They are used to prevent a respondent from being asked irrelevant questions. Interviewers should check back and mark an "X" in the appropriate box in the filter; then, follow the instructions. MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
14
Skip Instructions Used to avoid asking questions to the respondent which are not relevant to his/her situation –e.g., HL11, WS1, HC11 When a particular response makes subsequent questions irrelevant, an instruction (usually an arrow) is shown after the particular response directing us to skip to the next appropriate question. Skip instructions have to be followed MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
