Abstract

We used KoBo Collect and KoBo Toolbox as an electronic data capture platform for a dog population and rabies knowledge and practices community survey in the Philippines. It has allowed for easy design and deployment of an electronic form with minimal technical knowledge from the investigators. Using this platform allowed for shorter training for data collectors, minimal errors during data collection, and faster turn-around time for data cleaning and analysis.
