Challenge Potential Solution
Nonresponse Consider incentives and prenotification.
Coverage due to mode of data collection Consider multimode collection.
Self-reported data Consider measurements on an in-person subsample.
Coverage (young age groups and language barriers) Consider use of cellular phones and employ bilingual interviewers.
Data quality Institute data quality protocols and checks.
Small sample size Oversample in certain areas, use small-area techniques.
Cost Charge for certain questions, use survey for evaluation and get funding as part of the intervention, use multimode data collection.
Limited space for questions Consider rotating surveys.
