Maternal Health Survey 2017 MHS / GMHS 2017 GHA_2017_MHS_v01_M Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) Ghana Health Service (GHS) ICF Nesstar Publisher Government of Ghana United States Agency for International Development European Union United Nations Population Fund Information about The DHS Program General Inquiries Data and Data Related Resources Demographic and Health Survey, Special [hh/dhs-sp] The 2017 Ghana Maternal Health Survey (2017 GMHS) was the second of its kind following the original conducted in 2007 (2007 GMHS). The survey was planned to collect information on maternal health and mortality in Ghana through data collection at the household and individual woman’s level. As in the 2007 GMHS, the 2017 GMHS collected data from a nationally representative sample. The 2017 GMHS sample consisted of 900 clusters and 27,000 households randomly selected from the entire country. The data dictionary was generated from hierarchical data that was downloaded from the DHS website (http://dhsprogram.com). Ghana National coverage Sample survey data [ssd] Ghana Statistical Service Face-to-face [f2f] Three questionnaires were used in the 2017 GMHS: the Household Questionnaire, the Woman’s Questionnaire, and the Verbal Autopsy Questionnaire. Data collection was carried out by 25 field teams, each consisting of one supervisor (male or female), four interviewers (all female), and one driver. Electronic data files were transferred from each interviewer’s tablet computer to the team supervisor’s tablet computer every day. Field supervisors transferred data to the central data processing office via the IFSS. Senior staff from GSS coordinated and monitored fieldwork activities. Data collection took place over a 4-month period, from 15 June through 12 October 2017. All electronic data files for the 2017 GMHS were transferred via the IFSS to the GSS central office in Accra, where they were stored on a password-protected computer. The data processing operation included registering and checking for any inconsistencies and outliers. Data editing and cleaning included structure and consistency checks to ensure completeness of work in the field. The central office also conducted secondary editing, which required resolution of computer-identified inconsistencies and coding of openended questions. The data were processed by five GSS staff members. Data editing was accomplished using CSPro software. Secondary editing and data processing were initiated in June and completed in November 2017. A total of 27,001 households were selected for the sample, of which 26,500 were occupied at the time of fieldwork. Of the occupied households, 26,324 were successfully interviewed, yielding a response rate of 99%. In the interviewed households, 25,304 eligible women were identified for individual interviews; interviews were completed with 25,062 women, yielding a response rate of 99%.
