Quantitative research
How do we work?
- Production of the research design and fieldwork plan
- A sample is drawn
- Our qualified interviewers enter the field to gather the data. DataFruit can implement data gathering in various ways:
- Paper questionnaire
- Phone surveys
- Digitally, by using software
- Online
- The interviewers will be monitored during the fieldwork
- Once the fieldwork is finished all the gathered information will be processed
Fieldwork
Fieldwork will be planned and monitored in the most efficient way.
- The sample will be analyzed
- Assignments will be carefully selected and distributed to each interviewer based on the geographical area, social background, language, sex
- Deadlines will be monitored
Training program interviewers
DataFruit uses trained fieldworkers to execute the fieldwork. We have developed our own training program for interviewers. Some of the topics:
- Interview techniques
- How to approach the respondent?
- Mimicry/body language
- Confidentiality
- Reliability
- Fraud
- Ethics
- Accountability
Teamwork
The team of interviewers will be divided into smaller teams. Each team has 3-5 interviewers with a supervisor.
Apart from communicating with the interviewers about targets etc. supervisors are also in charge of executing check-up visits/calls by re-asking pre-selected questions.
