Before IPOR started implementing Rapid Mortality Mobile Phone Survey (RaMMPS) it conducted a pilot trial with support from New York University- Abu Dhabi. The mobile phone surveys were not common for collecting mortality data. The study assessed the feasibility of mortality data collection using mobile phone surveys. The study was a non -inferiority randomized trial (a quantitative study). The participants were subjected to two different kinds of questionnaires. One group was asked mortality questions while another group was asked economic questions. For that project, IPOR collected data, helped to develop study tools, manage fieldwork, provide weekly reports, programming the study tool, data cleaning, supported data analysis, and contributed to the write-up of the study’s article. In total, 7240 phone calls were pressed but 1683 interviews were completed. From the 1683 interviews that were completed, 1270 were for the mortality questionnaire while 413 were for the economic questionnaire. 5557 calls were not successful because either phone was not reachable, participants refused to take part in the study, were not eligible for the study, or did not complete the interviews. Participants for the study were mobile subscribers both men and women between the ages of 18 and 64 across all regions of Malawi. The mobile subscribers were randomly selected with the help of the Sample Solution B.V. of the Netherlands (https://sample.solutions). Data collection was done between September and October 2021. The challenge IPOR encountered during the course of implementing the project was that participants mistaken RaMMPS calls as fraudulent calls. But thorough consent was sort to build trust between interviewers and participants. The study found that the cooperation rate for the mortality questionnaire was 92.4% and for the economic questionnaire was 91.5%. That yielded a difference of 0.9 percentage points at a 95% CI of -2.3 to 4 which met the criterion for non-inferiority. The completion rate of interviews for the mortality questionnaire was 96.8% while for the economic questionnaire was 96.4%. The study concluded that collecting mortality-related questions using mobile phone survey is feasible.
