 WHAT’S DIFFERENT IN IRS Q1 2019 ?

UPDATED ELECTRONIC C FORM DIGITAL CONTACT SHEET

QUESTIONNAIRE IMPROVED UPSCALE

ENHANCEMENTS PROCESS

ADDITIONAL
DATABASE FOR USERS
 C FORM GENERATION NOW AUTOMATED
•  The C-form is prepared to identify the location and starting point to start the survey.

•  This form contains information like State, District, Tehsil, Taluka etc. along with 3 addresses
(Selected, Before & After) as well as the Polling Booth address is written on C Form to help
locate starting address of the cluster

•  From IRS Q1 2019, this process of generating electronic C Form has been Automated
•  Program identifies the selected voter in the EP pdf (on the relevant page).
•  Looks for the same house number / people with same surname as the selected voter
•  Copies the name details of all such people - hence creating the C Form in a familiar format
 CONTACT SHEET NOW DIGITAL
•  The Contact sheet format for IRS Q1 2019 has been changed from Pen &
Paper to Digital
•  Advantages –
•  Enables to have a centralized database for contact data.
•  Makes the analysis and inferences i.e. DQA process more efficient

2017 2019
 UPSCALE METHODOLOGY ENHANCED

•  Process changes to improve efficiencies in UPSCALE

•  Removed Kish Grid Selection

•  HH Interview and Individual Interview with same person (for adults)

•  Boosters in broad locality - instead of cluster level

•  Started off Upscale as soon as regular Field Work starts

 QUESTIONNAIRE ENHANCEMENTS
•  Improved question framing

•  Split the HH level product category questions into two parts;

one set will be administered to Household A and another set
to Household B to remove respondent fatigue
 ADDITIONAL DATABASE FOR USERS
•  In response to subscribers’ requests, in addition to the Household and
Individual databases, a third database will be released with this round of
the study.

•  This new database will allow users to see readership data for publications
with low pick-up especially at specific market levels.

•  This database is meant to be used for a directional read only, for users’
internal planning, and should not be used for any further detailed analysis,
since the data would be highly unstable.
