Table 2.

Sample sizes for health financing pilot evaluation data sources, by facility type

Data source No change
Fees removed
Baseline Follow-up Baseline Follow-up
Facility assessments 14 14 6 6
Patient exit interviews 123 136 58 60
Household survey 479 796 198 573
HMIS data on facility visits 70a 70 8 8

Note: Only 54.2% of households in facilities where fees were subsequently removed and 78.8% of facilities with no subsequent change in fee levels had heard of the pilot facility at baseline and were included in the household survey results. At follow-up, nearly all households had heard of the pilot facility, and an additional village was added to some facilities for data collection, significantly increasing the sample size at follow-up.

aIncludes 15 health financing pilot facilities and 55 other ‘control’ facilities in each province where fee levels did not change over the course of the pilot study.
