The training should allow surveyors to master the knowledge, skills, and expertise specific to the KAP survey. The training lasts two-to-four days depending on the complexity of the survey and questionnaire and the experience level of surveyors recruited. It is critical to not to underestimate the magnitude of resources and time necessary for the implementation of KAP surveys, which are costly and time-consuming. Time: A KAP survey takes between six and twelve weeks.Ĭost of Assessment: This will vary depending on the context and the number of respondents.
For 10-15 surveyors, for example, two supervisors work quite well. Each supervisor should have daily face-to-face contact with each of the surveyors that s/he supervises. The number of supervisors is directly dependent on the number of surveyors, which is determined by the size of the survey and the resources available. Number of Staff Required: The team will be composed of surveyors and supervisors. Conclusion, references, and abbreviations.Data analysis and presentation of the survey report.Suggest an intervention strategy that reflects specific local circumstances and the cultural factors that influence them plan activities that are suited to the respective population involved.Establish the baseline (reference value) for use in future assessments and help measure the effectiveness of health education activities ability to change health-related behaviors.Enhance the knowledge, attitude, and practices of specific themes identify what is known and done about various health-related subjects.Measure the extent of a known situation confirm or disprove a hypothesis provide new tangents of a situation’s reality.In other words, the KAP survey reveals what was said, but there may be considerable gaps between what is said and what is done. Note that a KAP survey essentially records an “opinion” and is based on the “declarative” (i.e., statements). KAP surveys reveal misconceptions or misunderstandings that may represent obstacles to the activities that we would like to implement and potential barriers to behavior change. Brief Description: A Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) survey is a quantitative method (predefined questions formatted in standardized questionnaires) that provides access to quantitative and qualitative information.
