Info

All Ireland Traveller Health Study Regional Matrices Mapping matrices were produced and updated on a regular basis during the preparation for the census, and information on Traveller families and research requirements were broken down by study location within each THU region. This allowed the regional HSE and Traveller networks to review progress in mapping to ensure total coverage. In this matrix there were 8,796 Traveller families enumerated in the Republic of Ireland, and 752 in Northern Ireland. Allocation of Computers As the mapping data was received, tables were prepared (Table 3) which broke down the number of Traveller families by project, county, and region. This information was used to estimate the percentage population in each area. The study team used this percentage to estimate the number of computers to be allocated to each area and the number of Traveller Peer Researchers required. Also noted were the number of teams of Peer Researchers and coordinators who were available in each area. It had been agreed that the Peer Researchers would work in pairs, and UCD had 180 computers available to the study, so 360 Traveller Peer Researchers would be required. Approximately 40 additional Traveller Peer Researchers were recruited and trained in areas to support the coverage of the study and to fill gaps when they arose. Census Time Period It was agreed that the census would take 6 weeks to allow adequate time for all Traveller families to be interviewed and to allow time for follow up and repeat visits as necessary. Some projects worked longer hours and completed the work in less than 6 weeks, but the planning was based on the minimum hours worked by Peer Researchers. This 6 week time period was estimated from: • The interview process was estimated to take on average 35 minutes depending on the family members selected. • An extra 40 minutes was allowed per interview to allow for travel time. • By these estimates Traveller Peer Researchers who worked 12 hours a week could do an average of 10 interviews a week. With 180 pairs of interviewers, it was calculated that the scoped population could be surveyed in 6 weeks. 50

This calculation was based on an average duration of 1 hour and 15 minutes per family interview, with each Peer Researcher pair doing an average of 3 interviews per day (10 per week for those working 12 hour weeks). From this, it was estimated that each pair could complete their allotted interviews in 6 weeks. 51
