Description
"Health Index. Ukraine" is a large-scale, empirical, and representative study aimed at collecting quantitative data on the population's health-related knowledge and behaviors, as well as their evaluations of healthcare service quality based on personal experiences.
In 2017, the second wave of the study was conducted. It was carried out by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology in collaboration with the Social Indicators Center, under initiative and with funding and support from the International Renaissance Foundation and the World Bank.
The survey covered a range of topics, including health and health-seeking behavior, early disease detection, patient experiences with outpatient and inpatient care (including questions on official and unofficial expenses), pediatric services, medication availability, satisfaction with medical care, and perceptions of healthcare reforms.
The survey sample is representative of the 18+ population of Ukraine as a whole, as well as for each of the oblasts covered by the study and the city of Kyiv. Temporarily occupied territories of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the city of Sevastopol, and certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, where government authorities temporarily do not exercise their powers, were not included in the study.
Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using tablets (CAPI) conducted at respondents' places of residence. In total, 10,184 respondents aged 18 and older were interviewed between May 18 and June 27, 2017.
The data is available in an SAV format (Ukrainian) and a converted CSV format (with a codebook in Ukrainian). Field questionnaires (in Ukrainian and Russian) and technical report describing the methodology (in Ukrainian) are also included.
The study results, including detailed analytical reports in both Ukrainian and English, as well as selected infographics, are accessible on the project website: https://healthindex.com.ua/.
