THE USE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD SURVEY TEAM IN THE EVALUATION OF A YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROJECT,
Abstract
Techniques for maximizing the quality and quantity of interview response from 'non-middle class' populations are in need of development. Past research has pointed out some of the sources of bias resulting from the use of interviewers of the same and higher class and caste status. A description is given of a study using a team of indigenous interviewers designed to overcome some of the inadequacies of procedures used in the past to interview ghetto populations. Methods of team recruitment, training, and management are described with references to differences between the operation of this team and surveys using professional interviewers. (Author)
