Little work, including the present study, has incorporated measures of disclosure that aim to confirm respondent's reports of disclosure to a given target (e.g., via partner corroboration [ 49]) or social desirability scales to evaluate and correct for these biases.
The findings point to the importance of leaving some distance between researchers and respondents, and confirming that respondents' privacy and confidentiality are respected and prioritized.
The chi-square (χ2) test was used to confirm whether respondents were uniformly distributed or not among the groups for each variable or, for the two-way tables, to measure the interaction or strength of association between any two variables.
Supplemental analysis is helpful to confirm that respondents are in fact representative of the population [ 29].
An example choice task was also presented to confirm all respondents understood how to complete the choice tasks correctly.
For the household survey, we are not able to confirm that respondents attended the sampled facilities, even though households were linked to facilities by enumeration area.
However, we have no way to confirm that respondents fully committed to considering all DCE scenarios to be located in rural areas.
Comparisons with available data aiming at validating work parameters and demographic parameters at least confirm that respondents were representative of the background population in basic respects such as gender, age and location of practice [ 1].
Analyses of the respondents' on-line behavior while completing the LHC confirmed that respondents used the LHC's graphic interface to correct and reedit previous answers, thus decreasing data errors.
