To compensate for attrition or non-response rate, a response rate of 80% is anticipated the sample size will be calculated using the formula:
ns = n
0.8
Where,
n = calculated sample size
ns = sample size to compensate for attrition and non-response
0.8 = Taken that 80% response rate is anticipated
Then,
ns= 75/0.8
ns = 93.8
To further improve the accuracy of this study, the approximated sample size of 130 will be used.
3.8 SAMPLING AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
A Systematic Random Sampling Technique will be used to recruit all eligible men and women for the study. At least 120 men and women will be selected and this makes my sampling frame. A simple random system by balloting without replacement will be used to recruit the first participant among the target population on the day the study will be conducted. Subsequent participants will be recruited by using the sampling interval which is calculated to be 2.
3.9 STUDY INSTRUMENT
A structured interviewer administered questionnaire will be developed from earlier studies related to cholera prevention and control in the community, the questions will be sought to gain insight into a respondent’s knowledge, and practices towards cholera. It will also cover demographic characteristics of respondents as well as the as the factors contributing to the causes of diarrhea. The questionnaire will be constructed in the formal language (English language) for easy administration to the respondents.
