Rapid mortality data collection via mobile phone surveys
RaMMPS collaborators share lessons and experiences from the Rapid Mortality Mobile Phone Surveys project and release a report describing opportunities and best practices in mortality data collection over the phone.
As the penetration of mobile phones around the world increases, so does the prospect of using them as a modality for administering surveys. Mobile phone surveys are easier and cheaper to implement than a face-to-face survey, but our experience with mortality data collection over the phone is limited and there are a number of unresolved operational and methodological issues, including acceptability, sampling selection bias, and the choice of the survey instruments.
In this webinar, the presenters will discuss the experience from the Rapid Mortality Mobile Phone Surveys (RaMMPS) project and reflect on their utility for mortality measurement and surveillance. The webinar also serves to announce the release of a report produced by RaMMPS project collaborators summarising best practices and approaches
