Abstract:
|
The Croatian Ministry of Health as part of an overall strategy for health system reform to support Croatia's capacity to achieve a more efficient health system, launched the Health Systems Project. Sponsored by the World Bank, the contract requires that the work be done in accordance with internationally accepted quality standards. Statistics Canada (STC) has been asked to join the Canadian Society of International Health project team to offer technical assistance, and statistical expertise on best practices for ensuring quality. In partnership with the Andrija Stampar School for Public Health and the Central Bureau of Statistics of the Croatia Republic, STC has coordinated the development and the implementation of the 2003 Croatian Adult Health Survey (CAHS). The 2003 CAHS collected information to ensure a comprehensive assessment of the health of Croatians, including health services utilization, health status, and determinants of health. The 2001 Croatian Census of Households was used to select a representative sample of households under a multistage stratified cluster design in which one adult per household was selected to participate in an interview.
