Extensive training of interviewers is
crucial since they will be the primary source of your data collection. Their training
should include interviewing skills, processing procedures, setting up appointments for
interviews or visits, calibrating instruments, etc. Training should also involve lab
technicians and those in charge of classifying data obtained from examinations. If
necessary, periodic recertification should take place. A staff member should be retrained
if during recertification their performance is inadequate. |
