ACTwatch Outlet Survey Files: Madagascar 2015

ACTwatch Madagascar 2015 files

This collection contains the questionnaire, codebook,
reference document and dataset (in Stata .dta format) for the Madagascar 2015 ACTwatch
outlet survey.

Started in 2008, ACTwatch was intended to fill evidence gaps
related to malaria diagnostics, antimalarial medicines and fever case
management in the private and public sectors. ACTwatch collected data to inform
evidence-based malaria control policies and programmes. ACTwatch was a PSI
research project in partnership with LSHTM.

ACTwatch measured nationally representative surveys to all
public and private health outlets within selected regions, across a total of 12
countries in sub-Saharan Africa and the Greater Mekong Sub-region and multiple
years.

Outlet Surveys monitored trends in the availability,
volumes, and prices of antimalarials in the public and private sectors, which
included the informal sector. All outlet types with the potential to sell antimalarials
were included, from hospitals to private pharmacies to street hawkers.

The collection and processing of these data provided sound
evidence for country-specific policy recommendations. The use of standardized
indicators allowed for broad trends to be identified and global policy
recommendations to be implemented into policy and action.

All potential data users are encouraged to review this document before analyzing any ACTwatch data.

ACTwatch 马达加斯加2015年数据集文件

本数据集收录了2015年马达加斯加ACTwatch机构调查的问卷、编码本（codebook）、参考文档与采用Stata .dta格式存储的数据集。

ACTwatch项目始于2008年，旨在填补公私部门在疟疾诊断、抗疟药物与发热病例管理领域的证据空白。该项目通过收集数据为循证疟疾防控政策与规划提供支撑。ACTwatch是PSI与LSHTM合作开展的研究项目。

ACTwatch项目在撒哈拉以南非洲与大湄公河次区域的12个国家选定区域内，面向所有公立与私立卫生机构开展全国代表性抽样调查，且覆盖多个年度。

本次机构调查旨在监测公私部门（含非正式部门）抗疟药物的可及性、供应量与价格趋势。调查涵盖所有具备抗疟药物销售潜力的机构类型，从医院、私立药店到街头摊贩均纳入其中。

本数据集的收集与处理工作可为制定国别政策建议提供可靠依据。标准化指标的使用有助于识别宏观趋势，并推动全球政策建议转化为实际政策与行动。点击下方第一条参考链接，即可查阅包含ACTwatch项目、研究设计、问卷与数据完整信息的指南文档。所有拟使用本项目数据的人员，在分析ACTwatch相关数据前均应查阅该文档。
