How to do a VCA 51Once you have completed the field test, hold a debriefing sessionto think about the field test.Useful Tips Reflecting on the experienceof a field testThe organizers/trainers should address the following issues withthe group:■ How did people feel? Were they nervous? Was it hard to talkwith the community members? Did they understand what youwere doing? Were they approachable? What can be done betterto make yourselves and the community more comfortable?■ What worked? Why?■ What didn’t work? Why?■ Were the tools appropriate given the target population?■ Did the tools provide the information you wanted? If not,what changes do you need to make?■ How did the organization of the day go?■ Were the logistics adequate?The overall plan can then be modified, based on the informationgathered during debriefing. Logistics should be sorted out andthe choice of research tools must be finalised, as team memberswill have a better idea on methods which they feel most comfortablein using. At this point, the team should systematize, analyseand interpret the data (see p. 54).The team is now ready to undertake the VCA.
