Series Information
The baseline impact evaluation survey was conducted in 2012-2013.
Abstract
This data was produced for an impact evaluation (IE) which estimates the impact of a community-based anti-malaria intervention (training volunteers to provide malaria-related care to members of their extended families) and a private sector one (training and subsidized high-quality drugs to local medicine vendors known as patent medicine vendors) on the following outcomes: bednet use, access to malaria diagnosis and treatment, and incidence of malaria.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sampling design for the impact evaluation is a cluster-randomized experimental design that gives equal chance to both the treatment and control groups for being selected. In order to accommodate the implementation context and generate a valid counterfactual, the initial randomization was done as follows:
1) Primary healthcare facilities (PHFs), the CDI implementation unit, were randomized into treatment and control groups.
2) Political wards, the PMV implementation unit, were randomized into treatment and control groups.
These yield four study arms, each comprising an average of 106 PHFs in 106 wards of Gombe State:
- Treatment 1: CDI intervention only
- Treatment 2: PMV intervention only
- Treatment 3: CDI and PMV interventions
- Control (existing public-sector regime only)
The impact evaluation study was carried out in all the four intervention arms for the CDI and PMV components and the sampling procedure consisted of two stages:
1) The first sampling stage: the selection of the first clusters, the primary sampling unit (PSU) which are the catchment areas for the public primary health care facilities within the four treatment groups above are identified. Each of the PSU was divided into Standard Enumerators' Areas (SEAs).
2) The second sampling stage: Following community sensitization, the survey team created a list and mapped of all households within the SEA. This list was used as the basis for the selection of households to be surveyed by the simple random sampling technique.
