1 Backround

The Population Health Initiative is an AMPATH/MOH partnership initiated in 2016 working with county governments to develop a model for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Kenya. Its goal is to integrate siloed vertical services into a more comprehensive integrated system of providing care by focusing on three key strategies: (1) support economic empowerment by maximizing the power of community groups, (2) create a seamless public health care system, and (3) fully partner with NHIF to increase enrollment and retention in the insurance program. In 2019, AMPATH signed an MOU with Busia County government to design and implement the Busia UHC program. In order to provide household baseline data to inform the design and the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the program, we are conducting a cross-sectional mixed method baseline survey of households in Bunyala sub-County, Busia.

2 Objective

The objective of this study is to provide baseline data on UHC to inform the Busia UHC pilot. We plan to repeat this survey in future as funds become available in order to measure the impact of the UHC pilot in Bunyala sub-County on health service delivery, healthcare utilization, perceptions of healthcare quality in the public sector and household health spending.

Objective 1. To estimate UHC in Bunyala sub-County, Busia using an established UHC measurement framework

  • Objective 1.1. To estimate the health service coverage
  • Objective 1.2. To determine equity in access to preventative and curative health services
  • Objective 1.3. To estimate the prevalence of catastrophic health expenditure and the proportion of the population that is impoverished by out of pocket spending

Objective 2. To describe the correlates of NHIF health insurance enrolment among the informal sector

  • Objective 2.1. To evaluate the relationship between social solidarity, affordability of premiums, citizen awareness and empowerment and other factors and NHIF enrolment among the informal sector households.
  • Objective 2.2. To measure participation in economic empowerment interventions and its association with enrolment in NHIF

9.1 Ordinal Data analisis

As we know that Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test can often be used provided the two independent samples are drawn from populations with an ordinal distribution.

For ordinal data, we are assuming a significance level of α = 0.05. We have a paired data over here.So,We can do hypothesis testing (two Tailed Test) to identify the given research proposition:

Hypothesis:

  • Null Hypothesis, Ho, MedianDifference = 0

  • Alternative Hypothesis, Ha, MedianDifference ≠ 0

  • Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test For paired data set with ties,

  • WilcoxonRankSumtest was used for ordinal cohttps://rpubs.com/mominulislam2329/WilcoxonRankSumtest
