Demographic and Health Survey (standard) - DHS I
The 1988 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey is the first survey of this type conducted in Ghana.
Ghana
National
Sample survey data
Face-to-face
For the main survey, eight days' training was organized for the 16 supervisors and editors who had earlier taken part in the pretest. This was followed by 3-week training for interviewers. Personnel involved in the fieldwork were 40 interviewers (26 males, 14 females), 8 supervisors (6 males, 2 females), 8 editors (7 males and 1 female) and 11 drivers. Fifty-six of the field staffs were recruited from the Ghana Statistical Service, whilst 11 persons were recruited from the Department of Community Development and the Department of Social Welfare. Fieldwork began on 13th February 1988 and was completed on 5th June 1988.
Completed questionnaires were collected weekly from the regions by the field coordinators. Coding, data entry and machine editing went on concurrently at the Ghana Statistical Service in Accra as the fieldwork progressed. Coding and data entry were started in March 1988 and were completed by the end of June 1988. Preliminary tabulations were produced by mid-July 1988, and by August 1988 preliminary results of the survey were published.
