Today some lady showed up at my place and explained that she’s with an organization called Evidence Action and that they’re doing research to facilitate issuing deworming medicine and water sanitizers to households.
However, all her questions were akin to those found in ID application forms.
What is you name?
Which is your clan?
Do you have a nickname?
How do your neighbors call you?
What is you age?
What are the last two digits of you phone number?
If someone wanted to find you, what direction would you give them and how would they ask for you?
I felt this type 0f information is too intrusive and somehow doesn’t relate to health as there was no question related to health issues.
So I asked, how is this information related to deworming and issuing the community with water sanitizers?
Ati this is just preliminary research as they will sample those interviewed and conduct further research.
I was very suspicious because of the detailed nature of the questions and the obvious lack of questions related to health.
I’ve never participated in government research interviews before. So i’m wondering is it legit health research or what is this all about? Why would anyone want to know my nickname for a health research? Ama is it something to do with upcoming elections?
Apparently, it’s supported by the aforementioned organization as well as KEMRI (kemri ref: KEMRI/SERU:009/3301)
I took photos of some of their documentation.
