A. PRE-TEST GUIDELINES
(i). OBJECTIVE
The pre-test of the data gathering tools will provide the study teams the following
valuable information on the study design:
The end result of the pre-test process will be a revised set of data gathering tools,
procedures for data gathering and data collation. These revisions aim to improve the quality
of the gathering tools and data gathering processes.
(ii) METHODOLOGY
a. Site selection
The site for the pre-test should be similar in socio-economic status, geography,
demographic characteristics and health system infrastructure as the study sites. The
respondents to the pre-test should likewise be similar in demographic characteristics
and other inclusion criteria as the study population. The same sampling procedure
should be used for the selection of respondents for the pre-test and actual study.
Orientation of the research staff. The orientation should include inputs on the
background, conceptual framework, methodology and data gathering tools for
the study. An orientation assumes the selected research staff already skilled in
the research be used in the study.
Simulation of the data gathering process. The simulation of the data gathering
process using the draft data gathering tools will familiarize the research staff on
the instruments and its use in field settings. The simulation should already aim
to standardize the procedures to be used by the staff including a common
introduction of the study to prospective respondents
Preparations for the pretest in the selected pre-test site. This should include
coordination activities with partner institutions in the field and ocular visit to the
community or facility where the data gathering will be conducted.
Actual pre-test of the draft data gathering tools. The specific procedure for the
data gathering method will then be followed by the research staff in doing the
data gathering. The instructions for the data gathering method found on the
instruments will now serve as the researcher’s guide in going through the data
gathering process.
Debriefing of the research staff and assessment of the pre-test. This will serve as a
venue the research staff to share their experiences in the pre-test and process any issues
or concerns arising from the experience.
(i) ORIENTATION
The orientation was held on November 11, 2003 at the Institute of Philippine Culture
conference room. Throughout the meeting Dr. Dennis Batangan discussed to the
researchers the: (a) background of the study – what the project is all about, its aims,
duration of the project and partner countries; (b) methodology and conceptual framework -
what are the target groups, the symptoms to be studied; and (c) data gathering tools for the
study – how the pre-test should be carried out, the main activities, methods on how to
collect data and for the preparation of the field study.
(ii) SIMULATION
After revising the questionnaires for a more comprehensible and manageable grasp
on the certain aspects of the tools, the research staff has conducted an informal simulation
to try out the questionnaires. The simulation that was carried out was used to determine
the duration of the interviews for each respondent. This is significant because from this
simulation, the research staff will be able to make necessary adjustments in order to come
up with a satisfactory interview for the pre-test.
b. Translation
As a site for the urban sector, Marikina was chosen to be the location for the field
study. On November 25, 2003, the researchers went to Marikina City Health Office in order
to personally introduce the project pretest and to have a formal visit on the site. It was in
Concepcion I where in the pre-test is planned and to be conducted. The researchers were
able to discuss with Dr. Susan Ong – Marikina City Health Officer – the research objectives
and how the pre-test will be conducted in the pre-test. Furthermore, Dr. Ong was so eager
to assist the researchers by providing them qualified respondents for Primary Health Care
Doctors, Traditional Healer and from the General Population.
Similarly, for the rural sector, the researchers were able to go to the Angono
Municipal Health Office to carry out the same undertakings in introducing the project pre-
test on December 3, 2003. The head of the Municipal Health Office of Angono, Rizal is Dr.
Helen Martin. The researchers were able to discuss with her about the project and the
planned location for the pre-test, which is on the periphery of the province of Angono. Dr.
Martin suggested the researchers that they can conduct the pre-test in Medna Ville in
Barangay San Isidro. Dr. Martin was more than willing to take the researcher to the site
herself. Moreover, the researchers were able to consult to her for their possible
respondents and feasible date to commence their pre-test.
