Enumerator Training
Read First
By the end of the Enumerator Training, all field staff should be familiar with the Survey Protocols and all survey instruments. The Enumerator Training is typically organized by the Survey Firm or agency responsible for data collection. Best practice is to have a Supervisor Training first, which functions as a Training-of-Trainers, as the supervisors can then help lead the Enumerator Training.

Enumerator Manual
The Enumerator Manual should be the basis for the enumerator training. It is designed as a resource for field teams to consult as questions or issues arise during data collection. The manual should include the following:
- Brief overview of study objectives
- All Survey Protocols
- Roles and responsibilities of field staff
- Definitions of key terms
- Instructions for using (and troubleshooting) tablets
- Questionnaire conventions
- Module-by-module description of Questionnaire Content
The Enumerator Manual is typically developed by the Field Coordinator, with input from the research team and the survey firm (or other data collection partner).
