Coverage and Content of Health Contacts for Mothers and Newborns in Uttar Pradesh, Ethiopia and Nigeria, 2012; Household Cross-Sectional Cluster-Based Survey

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br>In 2012, the <a href="http://ideas.lshtm.ac.uk/" title="Informed Decisions for Action in Maternal and Newborn Health">Informed Decisions for Action in Maternal and Newborn Health</a> (IDEAS) project, based at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, collected data to answer the following research question: In Uttar Pradesh in India, Ethiopia, and Gombe state in Nigeria, where innovations to enhance frequency and quality of health care for mothers and newborns are in place, is there evidence to suggest that increases in frequency and quality of health care were linked to increases in the coverage of interventions that save maternal and newborn lives?"<br>
<br>
Applying a cluster household survey design in the defined geographies, individual level data were collected in May (Ethiopia), June (Nigeria) and November (India) 2012. Women aged 13-49 years, who had had a live birth in the 12 months prior to survey, were asked a detailed set of questions about behaviours and practices during that pregnancy, birth, and during the first month of newborn life. From these data it is possible to answer questions about frequency and content of care along the continuum from pregnancy to newborn care in three high mortality settings where commitments are currently in place to improve health outcomes.<br>

The data held at the UK Data Archive are an extract from a larger household dataset that recorded information about the knowledge of danger signs, experience of danger signs, access to health care, and costs of accessing care for individual women, and the characteristics of the households they were resident in.

2012年，由比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会资助、伦敦卫生与热带医学院主导的孕产妇和新生儿健康知情决策行动（IDEAS）项目开展数据收集，旨在回答以下研究问题：在印度北方邦、埃塞俄比亚及尼日利亚贡贝州——这些地区已实施提升孕产妇和新生儿医疗服务频次与质量的创新举措——是否有证据表明，医疗服务频次与质量的改善与拯救孕产妇及新生儿生命的干预措施覆盖率提升存在关联？

在指定地区采用整群家庭调查设计（cluster household survey design），于2012年5月（埃塞俄比亚）、6月（尼日利亚）及11月（印度）收集个体层面数据。针对调查前12个月内有活产经历的13-49岁女性，研究团队询问了孕期、分娩及新生儿出生后首月行为与实践的详细问题。基于这些数据，可分析三个高死亡率地区（已承诺改善健康结局）从孕期到新生儿护理连续过程中的医疗服务频次与内容。

英国数据档案馆所藏数据提取自更大的家庭数据集，该数据集记录了女性的危险体征（danger signs）知识、危险体征经历、医疗服务可及性（access to health care）、就医成本及家庭特征。项目及各国结果的更多信息可查阅IDEAS资源网页。

主要主题：13-49岁女性针对调查日前12个月内最近一次活产的孕期、产时及产后医疗服务利用情况与内容的报告。
