MICS Data Processing Workshop Multiple Indicator Cluster SurveysData Processing Workshop Features of MICS Questionnaires and Modules
Objectives • To understand the structure and formatting features of the MICS questionnaires and modules
Questionnaires • Household Questionnaire • Questionnaire for Individual Women (age 15-49) • Questionnaire for Individual Men (age 15-49) • Questionnaire for Children Under Five (age 0-4)
Module codes and numbering • Each module begins with the question number “1” preceded by two or three letters indicating the module subject e.g. HL1 (List of Household Members) CL4 ( Child Labour) MN17 (Maternal and Newborn Health) MWB7 (Man’s Background) • Men Questionnaire’s question numbers are preceded by ‘M’
Text • Text written with Small Capsto be read/asked to the respondent
Text • Text in lowercase letters • Response categories • Cover page questions
Text • Text in italics in the modules are instructions for the interviewers and not to be read out loud.
Other features • “Questions” or “filters” with Aqua colour background: • to be completed by the interviewer (based on previous responses or observations) • should not be asked to the respondent
Types of Questions • Questions with precodedresponses, • Questions without precodedresponses, • Filter questions
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 (if roster style) • Responses are never to be read to the respondent unless included in the question
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)
Questions with Precoded Responses • Two types of response categories • 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.
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 • Interviewers always write the respondent's answer in the space provided (specify: ______). • Use margins, last page etc to provide more detail if necessary
Questions with Precoded Responses The coding of ‘Don’t know’ and ‘other’: • In numeric response codes • 8, 98, 998, 9998 = Don’t know / DK • 6, 96, 996, 9996 = Other (specify) • In alphabetical (multiple response) codes • X = Other (specify) • Y = None, No one, or (additional) Other • Z = Don’t know / DK
Questions without 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, CL9 • If the response has fewer digits than the number of spaces provided, leading zeroes have to be used
Questions without Precoded Responses • Special cases: where a code is to be circled and a number is to be recorded • e.g., DB3, SB3
Questions to be Completed by Interviewers (Precoded or not precoded) • Hour and Minutes • e.g., HH18, HH19 • Respondent’s characteristics • e.g., HL7, ED2, • Observations • E.g., HW2, HW3 • Instructions to Interviewers • e.g., TN3, CD1-CD8
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.
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
Customization • During customization: Modules, Questions and Response Categories can have • Addition • Deletion • Change/Revise
