Interviewers

The number of interviewers used for each wave of the fieldwork is given in Table 46, together with the percentage of interviewers that were new to the HILDA Survey.

All interviewers and supervisors attended a two–day briefing session prior to each wave. From wave 2 onwards, the new interviewers received an extra day of training. All interviewers are provided with a manual covering the details of the questionnaires and fieldwork procedures.
