Event summary Questionnaires
One of the objectives of the DSS is to record all core events that happened to DSS members and the dates they occurred. To effectively monitor changes in the number of events in the DSA, it is advisable to have an event summary form which compiles on a continual basis the number of events recorded. All field workers should be asked on a regular basis to summarize the number of core events that s/he records. After the number is verified by supervisor, the report should be passed on to field coordinator to compile them and generate a total number of events at DSA level. Report compiled from event summary form should be used to check against report produced by data managers after all events are stored in the data base. Comparison of report between summary from event summary form and the data base is an important task to be carried out at the end of every round. Discrepancies in the volume of events will provide some insights in data entry or data storing procedures. For instance, the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) compiles summary of all events per completed HRB.
