Abstract:
In the end of 1968 and in the beginning of 1969 "the Golja village was
visited by a Sagure Clinic Team on several occasions. Observations
made suggested that this village would become a suitable place for a
Mobile Health Team service on a weekly basis. In March 1969* a census
was carried out in the village (l). Following the census the planned
comprehensive study of the village was initiated. For the assessement
of the level of health the following surveys were considered essentials
Sanitary Survey (2) Food Survey, (3 ) Health Survey (4 ) and Survey of
knowledge, Attitude and Practice, a so called KAP-study.
Data, collected at the census, were being used for drawing suitable
samples for the other surveys, The major aim of this particular
KAP-study was to collect a base-line of data of knowledge, attitude
and practice in the field of health, among Golja village women with
at least one child under five years of age. These base-line data
would later on be used for grading the impact of health education
towards this category of women. Another purpose of the survey was to
test the latest questionnaire form, issued by the Ministry of Publio
Health in an Amhario version.
