Regional prevalence of health worker absenteeism in Tanzania
结合两项调查数据，用简单插补法估算坦桑尼亚各地区卫生工作者的缺勤流行率，识别高于或低于全国平均水平的地区，帮助政策制定者确定干预重点。
Absenteeism of health workers in developing countries is common and can severely undermine the reliability of the health system. Therefore, it is important to understand where the prevalence of absenteeism is high. We develop a simple imputation method that combines a Service Delivery Indicators survey and a Service Provision Assessment survey to estimate the prevalence of absenteeism of health workers at the level of regions in Tanzania. The resulting estimates allow one to identify the regions in which the prevalence of absenteeism is significantly higher or lower than the national average and help policymakers determine priority areas for intervention.
