Phone-based data collection in a refugee community under COVID-19 lockdown
1 Jun 2020
This paper presents a randomised controlled trial of the Caregiver Support Intervention, with 480 war-affected refugee caregivers in Lebanon. Three weeks before the second wave of endline assessment, lockdown began in Lebanon, abruptly ending all field activities. The paper describes the successful completion of the endline assessment entirely by telephone, with all research team members working from home. The system described here was developed in 5 days and implemented in 7 days.
