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.
