inSCALE Baseline Cross-Sectional Survey Uganda

A data collection containing information on 6,501 children under 5 years of age in West Uganda. Data was collected during May - August 2011 as part of a baseline survey prior to implementation of the inSCALE c-RCT in the site. Dataset variables cover socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of households, symptoms of the most recent illness episode for the children during the two weeks preceding the survey, care seeking behaviour, treatments received and details of all self-reported out-of-pocket costs associated with care seeking for the episode of illness. Two datasets are made available: [1] The ‘inSCALE_baseline’ master table covers 1 child per row, and [2] a ‘inSCALE_long_baseline’ table with 1 illness condition per row (if child had more than one illness defined, one row is created for each illness) (5057 - only sick children included hence lower total).
