GRHAM - Global Religious Health Assets Mapping

DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS

Christian Connections for International Health (CCIH)

 

 

The objective of Global Religious Health Assets Mapping (GRHAM) is to document and promote Faith-Based Organizational Health Networks by creating an Internet-based directory and database of their health facilities, organizations and programs. The beginnings of the GRHAM website exist at www.ccih.org/grham with partial, and very basic, information from several countries – Kenya, DR Congo, Sudan, and India.

 

The next step for GRHAM is to establish a framework for a comprehensive database, including data collection. Prior to that, however, we need to agree on the data collection instruments and the kind of output to be generated by GRHAM, so that it is both informative and user friendly. This document presents a draft data collection instrument.  

B.         Data Collection Instruments

 

Collecting information from FBO networks, organizations and programs is a monumental (and expensive) task. We also recognize that any data collection instrument that asks for too much information could simply result in no information. After considerable reflection and discussion, we are a three tiered data collection instrument.            

1)     Basic:  This level includes a minimum of information about the identity, location, address, ownership, partners and size of a health facility (similar to the information shown in Table 1).

 

2)     Basic Plus: This level includes basic programmatic information that defines what a health facility, organization or program does. For example, “Does your health service include an immunizations program?” Table 7 illustrates Basic Plus output from GRHAM for PC(USA) assisted hospitals.

3)     Comprehensive: This level includes several probing questions for each program queried in Basic Plus. For example, the probing questions for EPI might include:

a.      Frigo: Do you have a functional refrigerator for vaccine storage?

b.      Plan: Is there a district-wide micro plan for EPI that includes your facility?

c.      Type: Do you provide routine or campaign vaccinations (or both)?

d.      Outreach: Do you also provide vaccinations at outreach sites?

e.      DPT3: What is the DPT3 coverage for your catchment area?

 

Table 8 illustrates Comprehensive output for EPI in PC(USA) assisted hospitals. Comprehensive could also include information in other formats, e.g., reports and maps, that would could be made available in .PDF format. Links to these files will be included in the database.

The three level approach would result in the following Comprehensive Questionnaire within which each tier is color-coded as Basic (yellow), Basic+ (green) and Comprehensive (white).
