Hi
Is it random enough to use the numbers written on a bank note to select the 1st house for exemple (in a rapid MUAC assesment)?
Easier to use and understand for the field team.
But all possibilities are not on one bank note so I am wondering if it will not be a big bias.
thanks
Nathalie

Using the numbers on a bank note to randomly select the first household should only be used as a last resort. It is recommended to use a Random Number Table (RNT) to maintain randomness as well as to ensure that all SMART surveys are using the same procedures. Kindly send an email to slogue@actioncontrelafaim.ca and I will send the RNT procedures.
