Rural household data collection in developing countries : designing instruments and methods for collecting health and nutrition data

This paper provides an overview of the most important conceptual and methodological issues that arise when collecting health and nutrition data in developing countries.

Abstract

References for more detailed information are provided as well. The paper focuses on three major types of data frequently collected at the level of the individual household member: anthropometry data; health-related information; and dietary intake data. Experiences about conducting field surveys in Malawi and Indonesia provide additional insights into avoiding common errors in the design and implementation of health and nutrition surveys.
