    Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey - Round 2 [hh/mics-2]

    Series Information

    In 1998, UNICEF embarked on a process of helping countries assess progress for children at end-decade in relation to the World Summit for Children goals (New York, 1990).

    Indicators

    The list of global indicators being used to assess progress at end-decade was developed through extensive consultation, both within UNICEF, particularly with Programme Division and the Regional Offices, and with WHO, UNESCO and the ILO. The global indicator list can be found in Annex 1 of the Executive Directive EXD/1999-03 dated 23 April 1999.

    Mid decade experience

    There are numerous sources of data for measuring progress at country level, but many either do not function well enough to give current and quality data, or do not provide the data required for assessing progress. Household surveys are capable of filling many of these data gaps. The mid-decade assessment led to 100 countries collecting data using the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), household surveys developed to obtain specific mid-decade data, or via MICS questionnaire modules carried by other surveys. By 1996, 60 developing countries had carried out stand-alone MICS, and another 40 had incorporated some of the MICS modules into other surveys. The mid-decade questionnaire and manual, the countries where a standalone MICS was implemented.

    The end-decade assessment

    The end-decade MICS questionnaire and manual have been developed specifically to obtain the data for 63 of the 75 end-decade indicators. These draw heavily on experiences with the mid-decade MICS and the subsequent MICS evaluation. The content is organized into question modules, for countries to adopt or omit according to the data already available. The development of the end-decade MICS questionnaire and manual has drawn on an even wider spread of organizations than the mid-decade MICS. They include WHO, UNESCO, ILO, UNAIDS, the United Nations Statistical Division, CDC Atlanta, MEASURE (USAID), Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and others.

    Abstract
    The 2000 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) is one of the first full-fledged household surveys at the national level in Uzbekistan dedicated to the analysis of the situation of women and children. The goals of the survey were to gather information to monitor the progress towards the goals that were set at the World Summit for Children (1990), and to provide a basis for further national actions to ensure the survival, protection and development of children.This survey introduced several elements new to Uzbekistan including: a new model of sampling; household-based sociological interviews; analysis by age and level of education. It provided information on breastfeeding, water and sanitation, education, HIV/AIDS awareness and other subjects.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The sample for the Uzbekistan MICS was designed to provide estimates of health indicators at the national level, and for urban and rural areas. Five administrative regions were chosen. The sample was proportional to population, so the following distribution was made:

    Region Oblasts Percent

    Region 1 Fergana, Andijan, and Namangan 27.7
    Region 2 Samarkand, Jizak Kashkadraya and Surkaydarya 30.8
    Region 3 Tashkent Oblast, Sirdarya and Tashkent City 21.0
    Region 4 Bukhara and Navoi 9.0
    Region 5 Khorezm and Karakalpakstan 11.5

    In the first stage census enumeration areas were chosen from a national listing of population distribution by cities, rayons, collective farms and rural areas, which were selected with probability proportional to size were selected with probability proportional to size. The standard segment size was 500, the total number of standard segments was 48463. The sampling interval was 212, and 228 primary sampling units or clusters of 24 households each were selected. Within the selected enumeration areas, a household listing was carried out, and a systematic sample of 5478 households were chosen, in 228 clusters of 24 households each. The sample was selfweighting.

    Response Rate

    Of the 5478 households selected for the Uzbekistan MICS sample, 5313 were successfully interviewed for a household response rate of 97 percent. Thus the household response rate was 100%. (Table 1). This perfect response rate is explained by the fact that for each cluster 28 households were selected, with the first 24 being approached. If any of the first 24 households were not available, a replacement household was taken from the last four of the 28 selected. In rural areas, where local khokimiyats keep excellent household listings, replacement was not practiced. In urban areas, replacement was still infrequent, but occasionally necessary. In the interviewed households, 7859 eligible women aged 15-49 were identified. In addition, 3349 children under age five were listed in the household questionnaire. The total response rate for women was 99.1% and for children 100%. The main reason of non-response for women was absence during the interview. The percentage of response rate in rural areas was higher – 99.4% than in the city – 98.4%.

    Survey instrument

    Questionnaires

    In the MICS, three modules were used:

    1. Household Questionnaire
    2. Individual Questionnaire for Women
    3. Questionnaire for Children Under Five

    The questionnaires for the Uzbekistan 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. For children, the questionnaire was administered to the mother or caretaker of the child. The questionnaires were translated into two languages: Russian and Uzbek.

    Data Collection Notes

    The questionnaire was pre-tested in July and August, 2000. Fifty six employees of the State Statistical Department of the Ministry of Macro-Economy and Statistics of the Republic of Uzbekistan attended a three day training. Fourteen were chosen to be supervisors and had a further two days training. Pre-testing of questionnaire included a series of interviews carried out in Tashkent City and Tashkent Oblast. 14 field teams conducted data collection, each team was made up of four people, with one supervisor and three interviewers. All interviewers were female. The MICS Coordinator was responsible for monitoring all stages of MICS. The fieldwork began on July 24, 2000 and concluded on August 15, 2000.
