Methodology
  • For the Household survey, administrators were recruited locally in the study area by Asia Arsenic Network personnel. The study team devoted several days to train survey administrators, first in a classroom setting and later in the field conducting practice surveys. The survey script was translated from English to Bangla by Asia Arsenic Network personnel. Survey administrators used this Bangla script to administer surveys. Survey data were recorded on electronic tablets using the Qualtrics survey platform.

  • As a quality control measure, audio recordings of all household surveys were made and the study team randomly checked ~5% of these recordings against the data entered. Households were surveyed uniformly across both unions by visiting every 10th household in Phulsara and every 12th household in Goga between May 2016 and September 2016. In this way, 1,177 household surveys were collected. Of these, 276 were discounted due to data completeness and quality issues. In total, 901 surveys were included for final analysis – 465 in Goga union and 436 in Phulsara union.

  • Trained staff members from Asia Arsenic Network (Jessore, Bangladesh) evaluated community safe water infrastructure in Phusara and Goga unions. This evaluation was performed by visiting all designated community water supply points in the study area. The safe water device survey included 1) recording GPS location, 2) performing a physical inspection and evaluating functional status of the system, 3) speaking with a user (when possible, the designated caretaker) to determine user issues, if any, and 4) collecting a water sample for subsequent laboratory analysis
Description
  • A household survey was developed to capture household perceptions and behaviors around drinking water use. It consisted of several modules: key informant and household demographics, household assets and consumption, water use behaviors in the dry season, water use behaviors during the rest of the year, and water supply maintenance and repair. Intervention and safe water device surveys were also developed; the household and intervention surveys were administered via Qualtrics.

  • This record consists of several survey instruments, exported where appropriate from Qualtrics into PDF and .qsf.
