The first training session was carried out during 28 and 30 March 2011. The three-day workshop training was held by our director Prof. Wu Xiaogang, our researchers and staff. There were total 20 interviewers participating in this training. The training included the study’s objective, definition and explanation of questionnaire, operation and practice of CAPI system, etc. Each interviewer was given an assessment at the last day of training to ensure the interviewing skills and the CAPI system application of interviewers achieving our standard. Last but not least, we gave each interviewer feedbacks and comments, so they could do their best and our study could succeed.
Soon after the training is the commencement of the first wave survey of the panel study, which is the first-ever household panel study in Hong Kong. We are hoping to collect information from 3,500 households with 10,000 individuals including their basic information, family structure, housing information, household finance, education background, job and career and psychological states. These data could help tracking social and economic changes in Hong Kong and their impacts on individuals. Survey results would contribute to the government’s policy making and thus improve the well-being of Hong Kong citizens.
We expect all the interviews to be completed by the year end. During the survey period, our interviewers will carry identification documents issued by HKUST when visiting sample addresses and will conduct face-to-face interviews with households. We would very much appreciate the support and cooperation of all selected households and individuals.
We are more than happy to answer all your enquiries concerning HKPSSD and the identity of our interviewers via our hotline at 2358 5875.
香港社會動態追蹤調查：訪問員培訓完成
第一期調查的訪問員培訓已於二零一一年三月二十八至三十日順利完成。三天的培訓由本中心的主任吳曉剛教授、研究人員及職員於香港科技大學舉行，有二十位訪問員參與了是次培訓。培訓的內容包括本計劃的目的、問卷的定義及詳解、電腦系統的操作及練習等。每一位訪問員在培訓的後一天接受了評核，以確保訪問員的訪問技巧及電腦系統應用達到水平。最後，我們還給每位訪問員建議及意見，讓他們可以做到最好，讓本調查能夠成功。
培訓完畢後馬上便是港社會動態追蹤調查第一期要點研究的開始，這是香港首個家庭追蹤式研究，我們的目標是蒐集3,500戶共10,000人的資料，包括個人及住戶資料、家庭結構、經濟、居住環境、教育、工作、心理特質等。這些資料可以幫助我們分析香港社會和經濟的變化及其對個人的影響，以及加深了解貧富懸殊、教育、就業等社會不平等的議題。研究結果能協助香港公共政策的制定，提高港人的生活福祉。
我們預計在年底前會完成所有訪問。在調查期間，訪問員會戴上由香港科技大學發出的附有相片的證件，親身上門與受訪者進行面訪，訪問的資料將會以電腦作即時記錄，完成訪問的受訪者會獲得現金禮劵。我們在此先對所有獲選住戶的支持及合作表示感謝。
我們很樂意為大家解答任何有關香港社會動態追蹤調查的疑問及識別訪問員身份的查詢，歡迎致電2358 5875。
