Proxy Respondent [proxy]

Data have been collected through quarterly visits by a team of surveillance workers (SWs) with supervision from a team of two supervisors. On a typical day, prior to 2011 a SW would come to the office and take a list of households assigned by the supervisors, travel to respondents’ households, update the events and return the collected data sheets to the office. The above system of data collection was modified in 2011. The modification involved choosing 49 villages randomly from a total of 183. The 49 villages were divided into 14 work areas and 14 SWs were recruited from the 14 work areas where they resided.

Two supervisors supervised the data-collection process. To detect any anomalies, the supervisors re-visited 5% of the households, chosen randomly, within 2 days of data collection by the field workers. Later on, the supervisors and the relevant field workers together sorted out any inconsistencies in the collected data. All the filled-up questionnaires were manually checked for completeness and for any inconsistencies.
