Face-to-face [f2f]
The pretest survey was designed and actually covered six States of the federation, with one State from each of the six geo-political zones. Specifically, the States selected were Plateau (North Central), Borno (North East), Kaduna (North West), Enugu (South East), Cross River (South South) and Oyo (South West). The sample size was small. Only one LGA was selected in each of the six States that fell into the sample. With the sample design explained above, only 20 households were canvassed for information in each selected State/LGA and 120 households nationwide.
In the process of collecting the data, two teams of two Enumerators and a Supervisor formed a roving team that covered each LGA. A team worked in each sector. Other personnel that participated in the pretest were the Training Officers from the headquarters, the State Officer and the Zonal Controller. The pretest was monitored by APRM Thematic Coordinators.
At the end of the pretest, it was evident that some of the questions had to be reframed and some technical terms broken down into simpler language for easy understanding and interpretation. The questionnaire itself took an average of three and half to four hours to administer. The MHS questionnaire was found out to be very bulky and it was like conducting four (4) surveys in one because all the four Thematic Areas were contained in one questionnaire. NBS technical staffs were mandated to review the questionnaire along with APRM Thematic Coordinators who provided the needed technical support before embarking on the main survey.

Main Survey
The Mass Household Survey covered all the 36 States of the Federation and the F.C.T, Abuja. As explained above in the survey design, 3 LGAs/ 30 EAs were selected in each State. Six hundred (600) households were canvassed for information in each State plus the F.C.T, Abuja with 200 households per LGA. Twelve (12) Interviewers/Enumerators of six roving teams with three (3) Supervisors worked in each State and the F.C.T, Abuja. A supervisor covered two teams of four Interviewers/Enumerators. On the whole, four hundred and forty four (444) Interviewers/ Enumerators plus one hundred and eleven (111) Supervisors were engaged for the field exercise nationwide. Each team covered five (5) EAs and the data collection was completed in twelve (12) days.
The Mass Household Survey was closely monitored by APRM Team of Monitors led by the National Coordinator of APRM, National Orientation Agency (NOA) in all the thirty (36) States plus the F.C.T; Abuja and NBS team of monitors. NOA came in at the instance of APRM. The Senior Staff of NBS comprising Headquarters Staff, Zonal Coordinators, State Officers and Principals of NBS Training Schools formed the internal supervisory and monitoring team.
