CBMS Form 16: Observation Record
Observing Interviews Conducted by ENs
The Head CBMS Area Supervisor (Head CAS), CAS, and Team
Supervisor (TS) should observe an enumerator (EN) while conducting an
interview. This is required so that the performance of the ENs could be
monitored.
However, it is important that the EN should not be interrupted while the
interview is ongoing. They should merely note down their observations
and comments on CBMS Form 16 (Observation Record) while the
interview is in progress.

CBMS Form 16: Observation Record
Observing Interviews Conducted by ENs
The observations and suggestions must be discussed with the EN right
after the interview. In this way, the errors committed can be corrected
immediately. The Head CAS, CAS, and TS should closely supervise the
ENs especially during the first few days of enumeration.
They should spend more time observing/supervising “weak ENs”, or those
ENs who have relatively poor quality of work, hence, do not meet the
standard output.

CBMS Form 17: Spot-check/Re-interview Form
Spot-checking and Reinterview of Households
The Head CAS, CAS, and TS should ensure the complete listing and
enumeration of all households in their respective areas of assignment. The ENs
were instructed to post CBMS Form 8A or CBMS sticker to indicate that the
household had already been interviewed. If no sticker had been posted, the
supervisors should inquire whether the household had been already interviewed
by an EN. All occupied and vacant buildings/houses should also have a sticker.
Check the area for possible inaccurate coverage of households especially along
barangay/EA boundaries, and omission of households situated in isolated parts
of the barangay/EA.

CBMS Form 17: Spot-check/Re-interview Form
Spot-checking and Reinterview of Households
Spot-checking and reinterviewing of households using CBMS Form 17
(Spotcheck and Reinterview Record) is done to verify if the EN adheres strictly
to the CBMS concepts and definitions and to the prescribed procedures in
conducting an interview. Entries in CBMS Form 17 should be matched by the
supervisor against the corresponding CBMS Form 2 (HPQ).
If there is any discrepancy in the responses given, especially if they had the
same respondent, the supervisor should promptly discuss the matter with the
EN. It is important that doubtful entries are verified with the household and
corrected/resolved promptly/immediately while the EN is still in the area.
