The SAGE instrument was pre-tested in 2005 in India, Ghana and Tanzania. Just over 1500 persons were interviewed in total. Fieldworker training workshop was conducted the week of 2 April 2007 in Danfa Health Centre, Accra. Fieldwork teams comprised 8 interviewers, 2 field editors and 1 person for the spirometry and drawing the blood sample. There were 4 teams in total each headed by a supervisor responsible for overall co-ordination and supervision of the team.
Questionnaires
The questionnaires were based on the WHS Model Questionnaire with some modification and many new additions. A household questionnaire was administered to all households eligible for the study. A Verbal Autopsy questionnaire was administered to households that had a death in the last 24 months. An Individual questionniare was administered to eligible respondents identified from the household roster.
