It does so by studying two distinct but linked projects. \n\nComponent 1 promotes the take up of improved sanitation with microfinance loans provided by Grameen Koota in rural Maharashtra. Social mobilization will be conducted by the NGO Navya Disha. These interventions aim to improve health and reduce health care costs of the poor in rural India, potentially reflected in lower health insurance claim volumes. \n\nComponent 2 proposes to explore primary community health insurance provided to communities that become open defecation free (ODF), conditional on sustaining their ODF status. If this is successful, the evidence will be strong advocacy material to encourage insurance companies to promote similar products at low rates throughout India, improving the sustainability of ODF.\n\nA household listing exercise and a baseline survey were conducted from September 2014 to January 2015. Two main goals of the baseline data collection were to provide a snapshot of the study population, serving as a useful tool to understand the context in which the intervention is taking place, and to formally test whether there are any systematic differences between the treatment and control group prior to the intervention. The baseline survey collected information on socio-economic and welfare characteristics of household members, including access to sanitation facilities, self-reported open defecation, and prevalence of disease.\n\nRandom assignment of treatment and an endline survey are planned after the baseline survey. The endline survey will follows the same households sampled in baseline, and supplement additional to account for any potential attrition.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2014-09-14","end":"2014-10-12","cycle":"Household Listing Data"},{"start":"2014-11-24","end":"2015-01-26","cycle":"Baseline Data"}],"nation":[{"name":"India","abbreviation":"IND"}],"geog_coverage":"120 Gram Panchayats in two Districts in Maharashtra, Nanded and Latur.","analysis_unit":"- Villages\n- Households","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The scope of the study includes:\n- Villages:\npopulation, area, location \ntransportation\ninfrastructure\npolitical economy\ncommunity activities\nsources of water and sanitation, waste disposal\nshocks\nprices\n\n- Households: \ngeneral household characteristics\/household roster\neducation\ndwelling\nindividual sanitation behaviour\nincome generating activities\ntotal household income \nown or family owned business or farm\nhousehold sanitation\nwater\nconsumption\nassets\nsavings\ncredit\nhealth care utilization\nhousehold economic shocks and risks\ninsurance\n\n- Men and women:\nhousehold decision making\npersonal hygiene\nsanitation preferences and beliefs\nhealth\ncredit and savings\nmemberships and political activity\nsocial networks\nchildren\ncare practices for diarrhoea\nhealth knowledge\nanthropometrics"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Nielsen India (PVT) Ltd","abbreviation":"","affiliation":""}],"sampling_procedure":"Detailed description of sampling procedures is available in \"Understanding the Links and Interactions between Low Sanitation and Health Insurance in India Baseline report\", pp.34-44.","coll_mode":"Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]","research_instrument":"The data was collected using the following survey instruments:\n- Listing questionnaire\n- Community (village) questionnaire\n- Household questionnaire\n- Women questionnaire\n- Men questionnaire"}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"cit_req":"Use of the dataset must be acknowledged using a citation which would include:\n- the Identification of the Primary Investigator\n- the title of the survey (including country, acronym and  year of implementation)\n- the survey reference number\n- the source and date of download\n\nExample:\n\nOrazio Attansio, Britta Augsburg, Institute of Fiscal Studies, University of London.
