tailieunhanh - NHIS CHILD HEALTH PUBLIC USE TAPE RECORD 1988

This book emerges from two separate, but intersecting, strands of work that began in the late 1980s, when the World Bank ini- tiated a review of priorities for the control of specific diseases. The review generated findings about the comparative cost- effectiveness of interventions for most diseases important in developing countries. The purpose of the cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) was to inform decision making within the health sectors of highly resource-constrained countries. This process resulted in the publication of the first edition of Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries (Jamison and others 1993). Also important for informing policy is a consistent, quantitative assessment of the relative magnitudes of diseases, injuries, and their risk. | 1988 NHIS CHILD HEALTH PUBLIC USE TAPE RECORD The data tape for the 1988 National Health Interview Survey on child health is made up of three major sections. The first section contains the main body of the child health questionnaire along with items transferred from the sample child s person record. It includes a variable describing the number of supplemental condition records filled out for the sample child. This section is contained in tape locations 1-937 pages 1-113 . The second section is made up of supplemental condition records. Space is allocated on the tape for 11 supplemental condition records per child the maximum number reported. If a child did not have a supplemental condition record of a given order the fields for that condition record were left blank. These condition records are located in tape locations 938-1531 and are described on pages 114-133. Two pages are allocated to each variable or group of variables. The first page shows the tape location s and frequencies for the first through fifth condition records the second page refers to the sixth through 11th condition records. The third section is made up of selected person-record variables for each member of the sample child s household. Space is allocated for 14 household members per child if fewer household members existed the extra fields were left blank. These variables appear in tape locations 1532-2287 and are described on pages 134-181. Three pages are allocated to each variable. The first page shows the tape locations and frequencies for the first through fifth household members the second and third pages refer to household members 6-10 and 11-14 respectively. Tape users who do not plan to use the variables in the second and or third sections of the tape can reduce their processing time and costs by making a tape extract that deletes the unnecessary fields. 1 1 CHS-1 NHIS PUBLIC USE TAPE RECORDS Outline of Items and Codes Number of Records 17 110 1988 CHILD HEALTH SUPPLEMENT RECORD Tape .
