A province is divided in districts. Tshilenge is one of the 3 districts of Kasaï Oriental and is located in rural area.

Sample size

- The sample size is small. Only 25 individuals have been interviewed as self report or with a proxy.

2. Translation of questionnaire

The questionnaire has been translated into two languages. The DRC has the French as official language and four national and written languages: lingala spoken in the North and Kinshasa; kikongo in the West, Swahili in the East and Tshiluba in the Centre of the country.

The process of translating has been completed to improve the understanding and facilitate the interviews. The team of translating was constituted by students of the “Institut Supérieur Pédagogique” as translators and two of their Professors as checkers.

After the translating by translators, checking of translations by checkers, the questionnaire went to the enumerator training for another checking, and then the final version came from the enumerator training and was as its agreement. The fact that tshiluba is a written language and the team is used to translate texts make the translation ease and no difficulty.

3. Enumerator training

The interviewer training was facilitated by the CD Rom provided by the Washington Group. During more than two days, interviewers were provided with instructions on questionnaire administration. They watched CD Rom and understood well that the cognitive test is not so much a survey as an interview and it is very important for the interviewer not to help the respondents and to record exactly what they say.

4. Interviewing people

Two teams of 5 individuals interviewed 25 respondents. Three interviewers operated in Mbujimayi (2 men and 1 woman) and two men in Tshilenge. They worked during the same time.

6. Difficulties and recommendations

- Discussing the interviews with the interviewers after they are completed, it appears that some questions in the protocol did not work?

1. Question 7, General health, Question: Do you have any of the following conditions;

The conditions given as category options are not exhaustive, so, the conditions of some respondents are out of the list.

2. Interviewer answer, Question 4: …impairments making difficulty to response:

The question 4 misses the categories option (0) that corresponds to the case when the respondent has no impairments. We add this category option (0)

3. Question 2: Hearing:

Hearing aids are not generalized as glasses for seeing

- The fact that some question are repetitive brake the chain of idea of certain respondents.
