This paper evaluates the quality of the data collected as part of the Kenya and Malawi
Diffusion and Ideational Change Projects, two longitudinal household surveys that
examine the role of social networks in attitude formation and behavior regarding family
planning, and HIV/AIDS in rural Kenya and Malawi. We investigate three sources of
non-sampling error: interviewer effects, response unreliability and sample attrition, and
discuss their possible interactions. We pay particular attention to their implications for
AIDS-related behavioral research.
