Abstract: Base-line health data is essential to monitoring the effects of many EWB projects. In the Collecting Health-Related Data session, we will focus on how to conduct these types of interviews in an effective and sensitive manner. We will discuss how best to approach interviewees, what types of questions to ask, and how to strategically word questions to get the most accurate and comprehensive results.
