Drawing on the experience of the GGP-PL team, Monika will discuss some of the challenges they encountered during fieldwork, the strategies used to support survey participation, and what worked — or did not work — in practice.
The presentation will take a practical look at different stages and components of thefieldwork process, including the mixed-mode CAWI–CAPI design, respondent contact and follow-up strategies, communication with respondents, interviewer involvement ,and approaches used to maintain participation during an extended fieldwork period. Iwill also discuss some of the concerns and barriers encountered among interviewers andrespondents and how the fieldwork team responded to them.
The seminar is intended as an opportunity to share lessons from the Polish implementationthat may also be useful for other GGS country teams.
