Description

The IDEAS Community Base Newborn Care (CBNC) evaluation surveys were conducted in Ethiopia in the last quarter of 2013, 2015 and 2017. Across four regions; Amhara, Oromiya, SNNP and Tigray, 206 Primary Healthcare Units (PHCU) were randomly selected from 12 zones and surveyed at all three time points. Household surveys of women who delivered in the previous 3-15 months collected demographic and healthcare data during the antenatal, delivery and postnatal period. The selection of zones was based on the phasic implementation plan on the CBNC programme and therefore not random. This dataset covers health worker surveys of woman’s development army volunteers. Collected data covers demographics, care provision, MNH knowledge, training and supervisions. This contains contextual data.

Methods

Description of data capture

Research instruments were developed specifically to evaluated the CBNC programme and where possible used previously validated questions. Questionnaires were first developed in English and then translated into Amharic, Oromifa and Tigrigna and pre-tested prior to data collection. Field surveys were conducted by JaRco Consulting. Teams consisting of four enumerators and one experienced supervisor were trained in the data collection tool by JaRco and overseen by IDEAS prior to data collections. At baseline, data collection was performed using paper questionnaires which were then double entered into CSPro software and any discrepancies reconciled at the JaRco office. During the midline and endline surveys, data was collected electronically using CSPro on tablets.
