Standardised Expanded Nutrition Survey (Mayukwayukwa and Meheba) - 2017 - Zambia

Abstract
---------------------------

The UNHCR Standardized Expanded Nutrition Surveys (SENS) provide regular nutrition data that plays a key role in delivering effective and timely interventions to ensure good nutritional outcomes in the refugee populations. UNHCR in collaboration with WFP and UNICEF and its project partners, Ministry of Community Development Mother and Child Health, MOH and MHA/COR, organized and conducted the nutrition survey in the two refugee settlements of Meheba and Mayukwayukwa refugee settlements from 26 November to 15 December 2017. This was the third SENS in these two settlements, previous ones conducted in 2009 and 2013. The main objective of the SENS was to determine the overall nutrition and health status of the refugee population and establish workable recommendations for appropriate interventions.
The survey includes one household-level modules and three individual-level modules (infants, children under five and women). See further details in the report.

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

Systematic random sampling was used in both settlements, and the sample size was calculated based on the 'acceptable' 5% prevalence of acute malnutrition as per WHO classification of public health significance for children under 5 years. It was agreed that the highest GAM prevalence rate of the 2013 nutrition survey conducted in the two settlemetns was too old to be used. See further details in the report.

摘要
---------------------------
联合国难民署标准化扩展营养调查（SENS）提供了定期的营养数据，这些数据在确保难民群体获得良好的营养结果方面发挥着关键作用，有助于实施有效和及时的干预措施。联合国难民署与世界粮食计划署、联合国儿童基金会及其项目合作伙伴——社区发展部母婴健康司、MOH以及MHA/COR共同组织并实施了2017年11月26日至12月15日在梅赫巴和马尤库亚难民定居点的营养调查。这是在这两个定居点进行的第三次SENS调查，前两次分别在2009年和2013年进行。SENS的主要目标是确定难民群体的整体营养和健康状况，并制定可行的干预建议。
调查包括一个家庭层面的模块和三个个人层面的模块（婴儿、5岁以下儿童和妇女）。详细信息请参阅报告。

样本调查数据 [ssd]

抽样程序
---------------------------
在两个定居点均采用了系统随机抽样，样本量是根据世界卫生组织对5岁以下儿童公共卫生意义的急性营养不良“可接受”的5%患病率计算的。一致认为，2013年在两个定居点进行的营养调查中记录的最高GAM患病率已过于陈旧，不宜使用。详细信息请参阅报告。
