Effectiveness of modular approach in ensuring data quality in large-scale surveys: Evidence from National Family Health Survey - 4 (2015-2016).

ABSTRACT: This study aims to examine the effect of administration of shorter and longer versions of questionnaires on key indicators such as age displacement, birth displacement, age heaping, and skipping questions on antenatal care (ANC) visits and use of contraceptive methods in India using National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-4 data. At the individual level, the effect of the adoption of the shorter and longer versions of the questionnaires on the age displacement of women and children and skipping of the key questions is insignificant. However, the results from the two-level logistic regression model reveal that at the primary sampling unit (PSU) level, work pressure, depending on the number of eligible women in a household, emerges as a confounder in skipping certain questions, namely ANC [1.18
