Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2000 - Albania

Abstract --------------------------- The 2000 Albania Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) is a nationally representative survey of households, women, and children. The main objectives of the survey are to provide for the first time information for assessing the situation of children and women in Albania at the end of the decade and to furnish data needed for monitoring progress toward goals established at the World Summit for Children and as a basis for future action. The 2000 Albania Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey has as its primary objectives: - To provide up-to-date information for assessing the situation of children and women in Albania at the end of the decade in order to develop effective policies and strategies over the next decade; - To furnish data on the situation of children needed for the compilation of the initial and second CRC country reports; - To measure Albania’s performance vis a vis the 1990 World Summit for Children goals. - To provide analysis of the situation of children for inclusion in deliberations at the United Nations Special Session on children as a basis for future action. - To contribute to the improvement of data and monitoring systems in Albania and to strengthen technical expertise in design, implementation, and analysis of such systems. Geographic coverage --------------------------- National Analysis unit --------------------------- Households, women age 15-49, and children under age 5. Kind of data --------------------------- Sample survey data [ssd] Sampling procedure --------------------------- Sample Design The sample for MICS Albania was designed to provide estimates of various indicators at the national level, for urban and rural areas. The sample was selected in two stages. At the first stage, 376 primary Sampling Units (PSU) were systematically selected from 1665 PSU. At the second stage, households were selected systematically within each PSU. The total sample had 5182 households. Because the sample was stratified by urban and rural areas, it is not self-weighting. For reporting national level results, sample weights are used. Mode of data collection --------------------------- Face-to-face [f2f] Research instrument --------------------------- The questionnaires for the Albania MICS were based on the MICS Model Questionnaire with some modifications and additions. A household questionnaire was administered in each household, which collected various information on household members including sex, age, literacy, marital status, and orphaned children status. The household questionnaire also included education, child labor, water and sanitation, and salt iodization modules. In addition to a household questionnaire, questionnaires were administered in each household for women age 15-49 and children under age five. For children, the questionnaire was administered to the mother or caretaker of the child. The questionnaire for women contained the following modules: - Child mortality - Tetanus toxoid - Maternal and newborn health - Contraceptive use - HIV/AIDS. The questionnaire for children under age five included modules on: - Birth registration and early learning - Vitamin A - Vitamin D - Breastfeeding - Care of Illness - Respiratory illness - Immunization - Anthropometry. From the MICS model English version, the questionnaires were translated into the Albanian language. The questionnaires were pre-tested during May 2000. Based on the results of the pretest, modifications were made to the wording and translation of the questionnaires. Response rate --------------------------- Of the 5182 households selected for the Albania MICS sample, 4970 were found to be occupied (Table 1). Of these, 4821 were successfully interviewed for a household response rate of 97 percent. The response rate was higher in urban areas (98 percent) than in rural areas (95.7 percent). In the interviewed households, 5496 eligible women aged 15-49 were identified. Of these, 5456 were successfully interviewed, yielding a response rate of 99.3 percent. In addition, 1453 children under age five were listed in the household questionnaire. Of these, questionnaires were completed for 1452 children for a response rate of 99.9 percent.摘要 --------------------------- 2000年阿尔巴尼亚多指标类集调查（Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey，MICS）是一项针对家庭、妇女与儿童的全国代表性抽样调查。本次调查的核心目标在于，首次提供可用于评估20世纪末阿尔巴尼亚儿童与妇女处境的相关数据，并为监测《儿童问题世界首脑会议》所确立目标的推进进度提供所需数据，同时为后续行动奠定基础。 2000年阿尔巴尼亚多指标类集调查的主要目标包括： - 提供最新数据，以评估20世纪末阿尔巴尼亚儿童与妇女的处境，进而为未来十年制定有效的政策与发展策略； - 为编制《儿童权利公约》（Convention on the Rights of the Child，CRC）首次及第二次国家报告所需的儿童处境数据提供支持； - 评估阿尔巴尼亚在落实1990年儿童问题世界首脑会议目标方面的表现； - 开展儿童处境分析，为联合国儿童问题特别会议的审议工作提供素材，并为后续行动提供依据； - 助力阿尔巴尼亚完善数据与监测体系，并强化该体系在设计、实施与分析层面的专业技术能力。 地理覆盖范围 --------------------------- 全国范围 分析单元 --------------------------- 家庭、15~49岁妇女以及5岁以下儿童 数据类型 --------------------------- 抽样调查数据[SSD] 抽样流程 --------------------------- 抽样设计 阿尔巴尼亚MICS的样本设计旨在为全国及城乡地区的各类指标提供估计值。样本分两阶段抽取：第一阶段，从1665个初级抽样单元（Primary Sampling Unit，PSU）中系统抽取376个PSU；第二阶段，在每个PSU内系统抽取家庭。最终总样本量为5182户家庭。由于样本按城乡区域分层，因此不具备自我加权特性，在报告全国层面结果时需使用样本权重。 数据收集方式 --------------------------- 面对面访谈[F2F] 研究工具 --------------------------- 阿尔巴尼亚MICS所用调查问卷以MICS标准问卷为基础，经部分修改与补充后形成。调查人员向每户家庭发放家庭调查问卷，收集家庭成员的性别、年龄、识字情况、婚姻状况以及孤儿身份等各类信息；该问卷还涵盖教育、童工、饮水与卫生设施以及食盐碘化情况等模块。除家庭问卷外，调查人员还会向每户家庭中的15~49岁妇女及5岁以下儿童发放对应问卷：儿童问卷由儿童的母亲或照料者代为填写；妇女问卷包含以下模块： - 儿童死亡率 - 破伤风类毒素接种 - 孕产妇与新生儿健康 - 避孕措施使用情况 - 艾滋病病毒/艾滋病（HIV/AIDS） 5岁以下儿童问卷涵盖以下模块： - 出生登记与早期学习 - 维生素A补充 - 维生素D补充 - 母乳喂养情况 - 患病照料 - 呼吸道疾病 - 免疫接种 - 人体测量学指标 调查问卷以MICS标准英文版为蓝本，被翻译为阿尔巴尼亚语，并于2000年5月进行了预调查。根据预调查结果，对问卷的措辞与翻译内容进行了调整。 应答率 --------------------------- 阿尔巴尼亚MICS样本共抽取5182户家庭，其中4970户为实际居住家庭（见表1）。成功完成家庭访谈的共4821户，家庭应答率为97%。城市地区应答率（98%）高于农村地区（95.7%）。在完成访谈的家庭中，共识别出5496名符合条件的15~49岁妇女，其中5456名成功接受访谈，妇女应答率为99.3%。此外，家庭问卷中共登记1453名5岁以下儿童，其中1452名完成问卷，儿童应答率为99.9%。
