INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES
This examination is designed to assess advanced knowledge and applied
competencies in demographic health data collection, survey methodology,
public health indicators, and field-level implementation practices as aligned
with national survey frameworks. Candidates are expected to demonstrate
analytical reasoning, data interpretation skills, and familiarity with large-
scale population health surveys.
Time Allocation: 120 Minutes

• No external materials are permitted.
• Calculators may be used where necessary.
CORE DOMAINS ASSESSED
• Survey Design and Sampling Techniques
• Maternal and Child Health Indicators
• Nutrition and Anthropometry
• Data Quality Assurance
, • Epidemiological Concepts
• Health Systems and Policy Indicators
INTRODUCTION
This assessment simulates the structure and rigor of national health survey
evaluations such as NFHS, focusing on the measurement and interpretation
of key population health indicators. It is intended for professionals,
researchers, and field supervisors involved in large-scale health data
collection and analysis. The questions are designed to reflect real-world
challenges encountered during survey implementation and reporting.
DISCLAIMER
This is an original simulated examination created for educational and practice
purposes. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any official examination body.
Q1. A field supervisor notices that household response rates in a selected cluster
are significantly lower than expected. What is the most appropriate immediate
corrective action?
A. Replace the cluster with another randomly selected one
B. Increase incentives for respondents
C. Revisit households at different times and ensure proper introduction
D. Exclude non-responding households from analysis
Correct Answer: C. Revisit households at different times and ensure
proper introduction
Explanation: Revisiting households improves response rates by
accommodating respondents' availability and addressing trust issues. Option A
compromises sampling validity. Option B may introduce bias. Option D leads to
non-response bias affecting representativeness.
Q2. During anthropometric measurements, repeated inconsistencies in child
height data are observed. What is the most likely cause?
A. Seasonal variation
B. Instrument calibration error
,C. Sampling bias
D. Respondent recall bias
Correct Answer: B. Instrument calibration error
Explanation: Measurement inconsistencies often arise from poorly
calibrated equipment. Seasonal variation (A) does not cause measurement
inconsistency. Sampling bias (C) affects selection, not measurement accuracy.
Recall bias (D) is irrelevant for physical measurements.
Q3. Which indicator best reflects chronic malnutrition in children under five?
A. Weight-for-height
B. Body Mass Index
C. Height-for-age
D. Mid-upper arm circumference
Correct Answer: C. Height-for-age
Explanation: Height-for-age indicates stunting, reflecting long-term
nutritional deficiencies. Weight-for-height (A) measures acute malnutrition.
BMI (B) is less appropriate for young children. MUAC (D) indicates acute
malnutrition.
Q4. A survey team fails to follow random selection procedures strictly. What
type of bias is most likely introduced?
A. Recall bias
B. Selection bias
C. Measurement bias
D. Reporting bias
Correct Answer: B. Selection bias
Explanation: Improper selection disrupts representativeness, causing
selection bias. Recall bias (A) relates to memory errors. Measurement bias (C)
concerns tools. Reporting bias (D) involves misreporting data.
Q5. What is the primary purpose of using a sampling frame in NFHS surveys?
A. To store collected data
B. To define the target population
, C. To ensure random selection of units
D. To reduce survey costs
Correct Answer: C. To ensure random selection of units
Explanation: A sampling frame provides a structured list for random
selection, ensuring representativeness. Option B is partially true but
incomplete. Options A and D are incorrect.
Q6. Which method is commonly used for selecting households within clusters?
A. Snowball sampling
B. Systematic random sampling
C. Convenience sampling
D. Purposive sampling
Correct Answer: B. Systematic random sampling
Explanation: Systematic sampling ensures evenly distributed household
selection. Snowball (A) and purposive (D) are non-probability methods.
Convenience (C) introduces bias.
Q7. A high maternal mortality ratio in survey results indicates:
A. Improved healthcare access
B. Poor maternal health services
C. Increased fertility rates
D. Better reporting systems
Correct Answer: B. Poor maternal health services
Explanation: High maternal mortality reflects inadequate care and systemic
issues. Option A contradicts reality. Option C is unrelated. Option D may
influence data but not actual mortality.
Q8. What is the key advantage of using Computer-Assisted Personal
Interviewing (CAPI)?
A. Eliminates need for training
B. Reduces data entry errors
C. Increases respondent bias
D. Requires no supervision
