Health Interview Surveys in Developing Countries: A Review of the Methods and Results
Abstract
Health interview surveys are carried out to gain knowledge of people's perceived morbidity, their use of different kinds of health services, and their perceived need for health care. Many of such studies in less developed countries (LDCs) have failed to consider the methodological improvements which have been developed in health care research in recent years. In the first part of this paper the research on methodological issues is summarized and the inherent problems in health interview surveys are stressed. Some specific requirements for cross-cultural research are described. The second part deals with health interview surveys carried out on a national, provincial and local level in LDCs. Recommendations for a standardization of the methodology are given.

Rates of diseases identified in different studies might vary as a result of differences in the recall period used.
“This finding suggests that rates of diseases identified in different studies might vary as a result of not only differing demographics, environmental conditions and case definitions, but also differences in the recall period used.3,4”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
