To avoid errors and reduce their effects, great efforts were made to train the fieldworkers intensively.  They were trained in how to carry out the interview, what to discuss and what to avoid, carrying out a pilot survey and practical and theoretical training during the training course.\n\nAlso data entry staff was trained on the entry program that was examined before starting the data entry process.
