GfK Mode and c) researchers to go for mandatory field visits, observe and scrutinize the filled-in data,
review quality of data collection, survey procedures and provide necessary clarifications. Training receives
our utmost emphasis. The tenure of training depends on the size and number of tools and also as per clients
requirements. Training is conducted through class room teaching, mock interviews and field practice. The filledin schedules are scrutinized carefully to identify gaps at this stage. The teams are briefed on the gaps and
resent to the field to fill-in a few more questionnaires. We have a practice to get all the data of the first
week of survey to the headquarters. Data received is carefully scrutinized before it is up loaded for data
entry. The analysis helps to understand the quality of data collected by different persons. .GfK Mode collects
data as per the data collection norms of ISO 2000.This ensures adherence to international norms and
standards vis--vis training and briefing, interviewing quality, back checks, scrutiny etc. Moderators and in
depth interviewers are selected through a rigorous quality procedure. The recruitment of respondents is as per
criteria and selection of venue is as per specifics laid down. The interviews are digitally recorded and
marked.
A.
Data Entry and Analysis: The custom made data entry software is developed or it is entered in SPSS.
Ten percent of the questionnaires, randomly selected are physically verified for data entry errors. A
system exists for conducting data entry twice and inconsistencies are identified and rectified. The data
is also checked for all out of range entries and if identified rectified on the computerized data sheet.
Analysis plan is prepared and approved by the client and data analysis is done as per the plan.
Experienced Coders are deployed for coding the open ended questions. Content analysis is done
for qualitative FGDs/interviews.
B.
Ethical Consideration GfK Mode follows standard protocols for seeking consent, ensuring
confidentiality, and minimizing risk to the respondent. Enumerators are trained to conduct the interview
and speak in a manner that does not hurt the respondents feelings. Proposal are approved by
Institutional Review Board(IRB- IRB Number:IRB00006230) for appropriateness of the
methodology with secure informed consent, rights and welfare of respondents and potential benefits
of the projects GfK MODE is a member of the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research
(ESOMAR) and has international binding for adhering to their ethical research norms.
Reporting & Interaction with Clients: Progress reports are collected from each region and report prepared
and shared with the client weekly by the concerned researchers. The inception report, draft report and the
final reports are internally reviewed by experts and feedbacks are properly incorporated.
The client interaction is key to existing processes. Our systems ensure that approval is sought at different
stages of the project, such as approval of study tools, analysis and report. Apart from these stages, we
encourage Clients participation in training of investigators and while field work is taking place as well as
during the analysis. We appreciate feedback from the client and take necessary and prompt action as
