The household survey was conducted in Kosirai Division, a rural area located in the Nandi North District of western Kenya.  Kosirai division has an area of 195 square kilometers (76 square miles) and a population of 35,383 individuals and 6,643 households (Central Bureau of Statistics, 1999).  The survey households are scattered across more than 100 villages where animal and crop farming is the  primary economic activity.  The survey's random sample of 512 households (described below) is intended to be representative of households  in Kosirai Division.  Information from these households thus presents an opportunity to understand the health and socio-economic  characteristics of the population served by the Mosoriot health centre.\n \nSample Selection.  A range of factors were considered when designing the sample of households in the survey.  A random sample of  households in Kosirai Division was created to provide representative information on the disease burden and socio-economic issues in the  survey area.  To further examine specific issues relating to HIV\/AIDS (such as impacts of the disease and treatment), a separate sample of  HIV-positive patients in AMPATH's HIV clinic was chosen.  Finally, a small sample of VCT clients (who tested HIV-positive or HIV-negative)  was chosen to examine issues relating to HIV testing.  It should be noted that the random sample also serves as a comparison group to the  HIV and VCT samples.\n \nThe sample of survey households is thus comprised of three different groups: (a) 512 households chosen randomly from a household census  of Kosirai Division (the random sample), (b) 250 households with at least one HIV-positive individual who receives medical care at the HIV  clinic in the Mosoriot health centre (the HIV sample, or \u201cHIV households\u201d), and (c) 61 households with an individual who has recently visited  the VCT clinic in MRHTC (the VCT sample).  Of the 250 households in the HIV sample, 167 are households in which the HIV-positive  individual is receiving antiretroviral (ARV) treatment at the Mosoriot HIV clinic.  In the random sample, the HIV status of respondents is usually  unknown, unless the respondent reported having gone for an HIV test and testing HIV-positive or negative.  Finally, in the VCT sample, most  respondents have tested HIV-negative.\n\nMosoriot Rural Health Training Centre.  The health centre is located approximately 25 kilometers south of Eldoret town and is the main health  care provider in Kosirai Division.  The health centre provides primary care services and is mainly an outpatient facility.  In addition, a  collaboration between Indiana University and the Moi University Faculty of Health Sciences has established an electronic medical record  system (MMRS) at Mosoriot which contains a range of clinical information on all patients who visit the health centre (Hannan, et al. 2000).  In  2001, this same collaboration also created the Academic Model for the Prevention and Treatment of HIV\/AIDS (AMPATH).  AMPATH's first  rural HIV clinic was opened in Mosoriot in November 2001 (Cohen, 2004).  Beginning in late-2003, the HIV clinic at Mosoriot has experienced  tremendous growth, with the number of patients rising from less than 100 in 2003 to over 800 as of October 2004 (AMPATH data).","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","research_instrument":"Multiple questionnaires were used in the survey, each one focusing on different issues such as health, education, agriculture, and income\/employment.  Each interview began with a listing of all household members.  Information on characteristics of each member was collected - age, sex, relationship to household head, education, health status, and participation in income-earning activities.  For children under the age of 5 years, height and weight measurements were also taken.  In addition, the household and individual questionnaires also addressed the following additional topics:\n \n\u00b7 Ownership and purchases\/sales of assets such as land, livestock, and durable goods\n\u00b7 Agricultural production and investment\n\u00b7 Time and risk preferences\n\u00b7 Food consumption and other expenditures\n\u00b7 Financial and non-financial transfers to and from the respondent\n\u00b7 Knowledge about diseases such as malaria and HIV\/AIDS\n\u00b7 Health-related behavioral practices (including sexual behavior and HIV testing)\n\u00b7 Family background, such as personal\/parental characteristics, fosterage and inheritances\n\u00b7 Mortality of previous household members and children living away\n\u00b7 Discussions about diseases such as malaria and HIV\/AIDS"}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"cit_req":"Markus Goldstein and Harsha Thirumurthy.
