THE IMPLEMENTATION OF HOUSEHOLD-BASED SURVEYS: BASIS FOR AN ENHANCED INTERVENTION SCHEME

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of a household-based survey conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and its manifestation to respondents, serving as a basis for an enhanced survey program. Three hundred (300) households were surveyed via random sampling from the six (6) selected barangays in the Municipality of Santa Cruz, Laguna Province. Demographic characteristics of respondents provided insights into survey findings and implications. Results indicate a high level of implementation, as demonstrated by mean scores in critical indicators such as interviewer/enumerator duties, survey characteristics, and perception of the survey. Challenges persist in communication and information dissemination, yet overall implementation still needs to be higher. The study reveals significant relationships between socio-demographic profile variables and implementation variables, with the location of respondents influencing survey experiences. Age, sex, education, income, and occupation significantly correlate with survey aspects. Strong statistical correlations are observed between implementation and manifestation variables, emphasizing their influence on survey outcomes. The findings reject the hypothesis of no significant relationship between the household survey and its manifestation, providing valuable insights into survey dynamics.
