Summary: | This book provides a guide to Automated
Development Economics (DEC) Poverty Tables (ADePT's)
two health modules: the first module covers inequality and
equity in health, health care utilization, and subsidy
incidence; the second, health financing and financial
protection. It also provides introductions to the methods
used by ADePT and a step-by-step guide to their
implementation in the program. ADePT is a software package
that generates standardized tables and charts summarizing
the results of distributional analyses of household survey
data. ADePT health is just one of several modules; other
modules include poverty, inequality, labor, social
protection, and gender. ADePT health has two sub modules:
health outcomes and health financing. Together these modules
cover a wealth of topics in the areas of health equity and
financial protection. This manual is divided into two parts
corresponding to each of these sub modules. The following
topics are covered: part 1, health outcomes: (a) measuring
inequalities in outcomes and utilization (with and without
standardization for need), (b) decomposing the causes of
health sector inequalities, and (c) analyzing the incidence
of government spending (that is, benefit incidence
analysis); and part 2, health financing: (a) financial
protection, including catastrophic payments and
impoverishing payments, and (b) the progressivity and
redistributive effect of health financing. |
