MODULE INDICATORS

HOUSEHOLDS WHO HAVE DOGS AND GET ALL DOGS IMMUNIZED BY RABIES SHOT

INDICATOR DESCRIPTION:

The percentage of households who have dogs and get all dogs immunized by rabies shot in the past 12 months

INDICATOR OBJECTIVES:

To monitor the prevalence of households who have dogs and get all their dogs immunized by rabies shot in the past 12 months.

ANALYSIS CHECK LIST:

  • Only asked of respondents who had dogs at household (ai1=1).
  • Do not apply household weight

METHOD OF CALCULATION:

# households with dogs and get all their dogs immunized in the past 12 months
(dogimmun = 1)
# of households with dogs

RABIES SHOT IN DOGS

INDICATOR DESCRIPTION:

The percentage of dogs immunized by rabies shot in the past 12 months

INDICATOR OBJECTIVES:

To monitor the prevalence of households who have dogs and get their dogs immunized by rabies shot in the past 12 months.

ANALYSIS CHECK LIST:

  • Only asked of respondents who had dogs at household (ai1=1).
  • Do not apply household weight
  • Need to derive a variable to calculate the total number of reported dogs and the number of dogs immunized by rabies shot in the past 12 months

# of dogs immunized by rabies shot in the past 12 months (dimm)
Total # of dogs reported by households (dsum)

  • Only asked of respondents who had cats at household (ai4=1).
  • Do not apply household weight

METHOD OF CALCULATION:

# households with cats and get all their cats immunized in the past 12 months
(catimmun = 1)
# of households with cats

RABIES SHOT IN CATS

INDICATOR DESCRIPTION:

The percentage of cats immunized by rabies shot in the past 12 months

INDICATOR OBJECTIVES:

To monitor the prevalence of households who have cats and get their cats immunized by rabies shot in the past 12 months.

ANALYSIS CHECK LIST:

  • Only asked of respondents who had cats at household (ai4=1).
