The survey was administered during the last phase <strong>of</strong> teacher training. The impact<strong>of</strong> the program on teachers could thus not be measured.2. The LQAS method was initially developed in the 1920s for quality control <strong>of</strong>industrial production. In the mid-1980s the methodology was adapted and appliedto the field <strong>of</strong> public health. Since then it has been used to develop baseline studiesand to monitor and evaluate public health <strong>programs</strong> in Africa, Asia, EasternEurope, and Latin America. In health systems the “lot” is a certain control area <strong>of</strong>a health program, such as a supervision area. The LQAS method uses small sizes <strong>of</strong>random samples to precisely and quickly identify the priorities within a supervisionarea and across several supervision areas in a certain geographical area.3. The training was based on two publications, Evaluation <strong>of</strong> Community HealthPrograms, Manual and Workbook for the Participant: Use <strong>of</strong> LQAS for Surveys andRegular Monitoring and Evaluation <strong>of</strong> Community Health Programs Facilitator Guide:Using the LQAS for Surveys and Regular Monitoring.4. The data-collection methodology consisted <strong>of</strong> two self-administered questionnaires,one for students, the other for teachers. The questionnaires reflected the indicatorsselected by the teaching team working under SEE/COPRESIDA and a nationalconsultant hired by COPRESIDA. The questionnaires were reviewed and improvedfollowing consultation with technical staff <strong>of</strong> the teaching department <strong>of</strong>SEE/COPRESIDA. They were tested with students and teachers <strong>of</strong> the EnedinaPuello Renvil School (Liceo Madre Vieja Sur) located in San Cristóbal province,which was not selected in the study sample.ReferencesSEE. 2006.
