SAGE is part of the unit's Longitudinal Study Programme which is compiling longitudinal data on the health and well-being of adult populations, and the ageing process, through primary data collection and secondary data analysis.  INDEPTH SAGE Wave 1 (2006\/7) provides data on the health and well-being of adults in: Ghana, India and South Africa.\n\nObjectives: \nTo obtain reliable, valid and comparable health, health-related and well-being data over a range of key domains for adult and older adult populations in nationally representative samples \nTo examine patterns and dynamics of age-related changes in health and well-being using longitudinal follow-up of a cohort as they age, and to investigate socio-economic consequences of these health changes \nTo supplement and cross-validate self-reported measures of health and the anchoring vignette approach to improving comparability of self-reported measures, through measured performance tests for selected health domains \nTo collect health examination and biomarker data that improves reliability of morbidity and risk factor data and to objectively monitor the effect of interventions \n\nAdditional Objectives:\nTo generate large cohorts of older adult populations and comparison cohorts of younger populations for following-up intermediate outcomes, monitoring trends, examining transitions and life events, and addressing relationships between determinants and health, well-being and health-related outcomes \nTo develop a mechanism to link survey data to demographic surveillance site data \nTo build linkages with other national and multi-country ageing studies \nTo improve the methodologies to enhance the reliability and validity of health outcomes and determinants data \nTo provide a public-access information base to engage all stakeholders, including national policy makers and health systems planners, in planning and decision-making processes about the health and well-being of older adults \n\nMethods: \nINDEPTH SAGE's first full round of data collection included persons aged 50 years and older in the health and demographic surveillance sites. All persons aged 50+ years (for example, spouses and siblings) were invited to participate.  Standardized SAGE survey instruments were used in all countries consisting of  two main parts: 1) household questionnaire; 2) individual questionnaire. The procedures for including country-specific adaptations to the standardized questionnaire and translations into local languages from English follow those developed by and used for the World Health Survey.\n\nContent\n- Household questionnaire\n0000 Coversheet \n0100 Sampling Information \n0200 Geocoding and GPS Information \n0300 Recontact Information \n0350 Contact Record \n0400 Household Roster \n0450 Kish Tables and Household Consent \n0500 Housing \n0600 Household and Family Support Networks and Transfers \n0700 Assets and Household Income \n0800 Household Expenditures \n0900 Interviewer Observations\n\n- Individual questionnaire\n1000 Socio-Demographic Characteristics \n1500 Work History and Benefits \n2000 Health State Descriptions and Vignettes \n2500 Anthropometrics, Performance Tests and Biomarkers \n3000 Risk Factors and Preventive Health Behaviours \n4000 Chronic Conditions and Health Services Coverage \n5000 Health Care Utilization \n6000 Social Cohesion \n7000 Subjective Well-Being and Quality of Life (WHOQoL-8 and Day Reconstruction Method) \n8000 Impact of Caregiving \n9000 Interviewer Assessment","coll_dates":[{"start":"2006-05","end":"2006-07","cycle":"wave1"},{"start":"2006-12","end":"2007-02","cycle":"wave2"}],"nation":[{"name":"South Africa","abbreviation":"ZAF"}],"geog_coverage":"Rural subdistrict Mpumalanga Province","analysis_unit":"household and individuals","universe":"Agincourt Health and Demographic Surveillance Site fifty plus population","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The scope of the INDEPTH Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health includes:\n- Household: household characteristics, housing, household and family support, assets and household income, household expenditure.\n- Individual: socio demographic characteristics, work history, health state, anthropometrics, performance tests and biomarkers, risk factors, chronic conditions and health service coverage, health care utilisation, social cohesion, subjective well-being and quality of life, caregiving."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"MRC\/Wits Rural Public Health and Health Transitions Research Unit","abbreviation":"Agincourt HDSS","affiliation":"School of Public Health, University of Witwatersrand"}],"sampling_procedure":"Simple random sample of 575 persons 50 years and older with an oversample of women from the 2005 HDSS census.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The questionnaires were  based on the WHS Model Questionnaire with some modification and many new additions. A household questionnaire was administered to all households eligible for the study.  An Individual questionnaire was administered to eligible respondents identified from the household roster. The questionnaires were developed in English and were piloted as part of the SAGE pretest. All documents were translated into Shangaan.","coll_situation":"A pilot of three sections of the questionnaire (2000, 3000 and 5000) was done in April 2005, visiting 8 people using the future supervisors as field workers.\n\nThe study team was composed by two supervisors, six field workers, one data editor, one driver and two data clerks. Data entry was supervised by Benjamin Clark and field activities by F. Xavier Gomez-Olive.\n\nTraining was done during two weeks from mid May 2006. Field work started at the end of May 2006 divided in two periods. The first one from end of May to end of July 2006 and the second from December 2006 to February 2007. All anthropometric measurements were done in December 2006 for those interviewed in the first period due to late arrival of equipment. \n\nQuestionnaries were translated to Shangaan and back translated to English. The translation created some issues at the beginning of the field work because the translated instrument was considered to be too academic for field workers. Once they became more familiar with the translations, interviews went smoothly. At the beginning interviews lasted around 3 hours with no anthropometric measurements but after two weeks interviews were reduced to 90 minutes. In the second period, including anthropometric measurements, interviews lasted around 90-120 minutes.","act_min":"Interviewing was conducted by teams of interviewers. Each interviewing team comprised of 3 field workers, a supervisor and a driver. Each team had its own car to transport field workers to the first assigned household for that working day. \n\nThe role of the supervisor was to coordinate field data collection activities, including management of the field teams, supplies and equipment, maps and listings. Additionally, the field supervisor assigned the work to the interviewers, spot checked work, maintained field control documents, and sent completed questionnaires and progress reports to the central office.  \n\nThe field editor was responsible for reviewing each questionnaire at the end of the day, checking for missed questions, skip errors, fields incorrectly completed, and checking for inconsistencies in the data.  The field editor also kept track of household visited and assuring that all households had a completed questionnaire back to the main office. In case forms had to be sent back to the field he was responsible of registering the form and assuring the form came back to the office.\n\nField visits were also made by Dr. Gomez-Olive who visited the field every week to provide support, check quality and review progress.","cleaning_operations":"Data editing took place at a number of stages including:\n(1) office editing and coding \n(2) during data entry \n(3) structural checking of the CSPro files \n(4) range and consistency secondary edits in Stata"},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"86% of participants accepted to participate, 10% were not found and 4% refused to participate."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"contact":[{"name":"Nirmala Naidoo","affiliation":"World Health Organization","email":"sagesurvey@who.int","uri":""}],"cit_req":"Publications based on INDEPTH SAGE data should use the following acknowledgement: \"This paper uses data from the WHO INDEPTH Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health (SAGE).\"","conditions":"The user undertakes:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              \n(1) to keep confidential any information concerning individual persons or households\n(2) not to distribute the data to any other user\n(3) to use the data for scientific research only\n(4) to share any planned publications with WHO prior to publication","disclaimer":"The data is being distributed without warranty of any kind.
