Field visits were conducted by survey's management team to ensure data collection was carried out according to standards
The interviewers in the fieldwork are selected from the experienced ones in the statistical work and they are also trained theoretically and practically.
Data processing
To ensure the quality and consistency of data, a set of measures was introduced as follows:
- Creation of a data entry program prior to the collection of data to ensure this would be ready.
- A set of validation rules were applied to the program to check the consistency of data.
- The efficiency of the program was pre-tested by entering a few questionnaires, including incorrect information, and checking its efficiency in capturing the incorrect information.
- Well-trained data entry personnel were selected and trained for main data entry.
- Weekly data files were received by project management to be checked for accuracy and consistency: correction notes were provided to data entry management for implementation.
Data appraisal
Statistical Errors:
- Statistical Errors: The findings of the survey are affected by statistical errors due to using sampling in conducting the survey for the units of the target population, which increases the chances of having variances from the actual values we expect to obtain from the data had we conducted the survey using comprehensive enumeration. The variance of the key goods in the survey was computed and dissemination was carried out on the level of the Palestinian Territory for reasons related to sample design and computation of the variance of the different indicators.
Non-Statistical Errors
These types of errors could appear on one or all the survey stages that include data collection and data entry.
- Response errors: these types of errors are related to, responders, fieldworkers, and data entry personnel's. And to avoid mistakes and reduce the impact has been a series of actions that would enhance the accuracy of the data through a process of data collection from the field and the data processing.
