Experience in Selecting, Training and Supervising Interviewers in a Rural Health Project: Danfa Project, Ghana. Danfa Comprehensive Rural Health and Family Planning Project, Ghana

摘要

This paper describes the recruiting and training of five classes of interviewers over a 20-month period, when baseline studies were conducted for the project. Following are the recommendations of the authors: (1) Course supervisors should be exposed to field conditions and should conduct household interviews in the same communities where trainees will be working. (2) Trainees should be held in a probationary status until their work is acceptable. (3) By increasing the amount of course time spent in the field, clearly defined instructional objectives for interviewing can be developed and feedback provided to the trainee of his progress toward becoming a skilled interviewer.
