| Summary: | This package is designed to assess
the needs of young children in communities heavily affected
by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The assessment provides
information about the household, family, the main caregiver
of young children, each child under 8 years of age, their
basic needs (housing, food, clothes, bedding, daily
activities, health, education and childcare), and unmet
needs. The information from the assessment is intended to be
used to design service programs, targeted to the needs of
these young children and their families. The needs
assessment is carried out through use of a survey of
households in the area served by the organization, sometimes
called the .catchment. area. We have based this survey on
the commonly used technique of cluster sampling, because we
assumed that the size of the population and lack of accurate
mapping and census data would prohibit either a survey of
all households in the catchment area or simple random
sampling. A survey instrument, definitions, script for the
interviewer, and training materials are included in the
package. The software that accompanies this package includes
a program for analysis and generation of reports. |
