    Series Information

    NSS made its first attempt to collect information on health in its 7th round (Oct 1953- March 1954). This survey and those conducted in the three subsequent rounds (the 11th to the 13th, 1956-58) were all exploratory in nature. The aim of these surveys was to evolve an appropriate data collection method to obtain a morbidity profile of India. These surveys were followed up by a pilot survey in the 17th round (September 1961 - July 1962) to examine alternative approaches of morbidity reporting. With the aid of the findings of these exploratory surveys, a full-scale survey on morbidity was conducted in the 28th round (October 1973 - June 1974).
    Reports based on the data of the NSS surveys of social consumption carried out in the 42nd round (July 1986 - June 1987) and the 52nd round (July 1995 - June 1996) gave information on the public distribution system, health services, educational services and the problems of the aged.
    As part of the 60th round of NSS during January-June 2004, a survey on morbidity and health care, including the problems of aged persons, was carried out at the request of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and a report (NSS Report No.507) brought out.

    Abstract

    The survey on health aimed to generate basic quantitative information on the health sector. A vital component is the information relevant to the determination of the prevalence rate of morbidity among various age-sex groups in different regions of the country. Further, measurement of the extent of use of health services provided by the Government was an indispensable part of the exercise. Special attention was given to hospitalisation, or medical care received as in-patient of medical institutions. The ailments for which such medical care was sought, the extent of use of Government hospitals, and the expenditure incurred on treatment received from public and private sectors, were all to be investigated by the survey. Break-up of expenditure by various heads had to be estimated for expenses on medical care received both as in-patient and otherwise.

    For the first time in an NSS health survey, the data collected would enable assessment of the role of alternative schools of medicine in respect of prevalence of use, cost of treatment and type of ailments covered. Besides, the survey would ascertain the extent of use of private and public hospitals for childbirth, the cost incurred, and the extent of receipt of pre-natal and post-natal care by women who undergo childbirth. Finally, information on certain aspects of the condition of the 60-plus population was obtained which had a bearing on their state of health, economic independence, and degree of isolation. For most important parameters, the survey provided estimates separately for males and females.

    Apart from the prevalence of ailments, the emphasis of the health survey in this round, as in earlier NSS surveys, was on the propensity of the population to seek health care from the public sector, together with the expenditure incurred by households for availing health care services from the public and private sectors. The extent of use of AYUSH and cost of treatment by AYUSH studied for the first time from an NSS survey of health.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    1.4 Sample Design

    1.4.1 Outline of sample design: A stratified multi-stage design has been adopted for the 71st round survey. The first stage units (FSU) will be the census villages (Panchayat wards in case of Kerala) in the rural sector and Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks in the urban sector. The ultimate stage units (USU) will be households in both the sectors. In the case of large FSUs, one intermediate stage of sampling will be the selection of two hamlet-groups (hgs)/ sub-blocks (sbs) from each rural/ urban FSU.

    1.4.2 Sampling Frame for First Stage Units: For the rural sector, the list of 2011 census villages (henceforth the term 'village' would mean Panchayat wards for Kerala) will constitute the sampling frame. However, if 2011 census list is not available, then 2001 census villages updated by excluding the villages urbanised and including the towns de-urbanised after 2001 census will constitute the sampling frame. For the urban sector, the latest updated list of UFS blocks (phase 2007-12) will be considered as the sampling frame.

    1.4.3 Stratification: Each district will be a stratum. Within each district of a State/UT, generally speaking, two basic strata will be formed: (i) rural stratum comprising of all rural areas of the district and (ii) urban stratum comprising of all the urban areas of the district. However, within the urban areas of a district, if there are one or more towns with population 1 lakh or more as per Census 2011, each of them will form a separate basic stratum and the remaining urban areas of the district will be considered as another basic stratum.

    1.4.3.1 Special stratum in the rural sector: There are some villages in Nagaland and Andaman & Nicobar Islands which are difficult to access. As in earlier rounds, a special stratum will be formed at State/UT level comprising these villages in the two State/UTs.

    1.4.4 Sub-stratification:

    1.4.4.1 Rural sector: If 'r' be the sample size allocated for a rural stratum, the number of sub-strata formed will be 'r/2'. The villages within a district as per frame will be first arranged in ascending order of population. Then sub-strata 1 to 'r/2' will be demarcated in such a way that each sub-stratum will comprise a group of villages of the arranged frame and have more or less equal population.

    1.4.4.2 Urban sector: If 'u' be the sample size allocated for an urban stratum, the number of sub-strata formed will be 'u/2'. For all strata, if u/2 >1, implying formation of 2 or more sub-strata, all the UFS blocks within the stratum will be first arranged in ascending order of total number of households in the UFS Blocks as per UFS phase 2007-12. Then sub-strata 1 to 'u/2' will be demarcated in such a way that each sub-stratum will have more or less equal number of households.

    1.4.5 Total sample size (FSUs): About 8300 FSUs will be surveyed for the central sample at all-India level. State wise allocation of sample FSUs is given in Table-1, page A-22.

    1.4.6 Allocation of total sample to States and UTs: The total number of sample FSUs will be allocated to the States and UTs in proportion to population as per Census 2011 subject to a minimum sample allocation to each State/UT. While doing so, the resource availability in terms of number of field investigators as well as the comparability with previous round of survey on the same subjects will be kept in view.

    1.4.7 Allocation of State/ UT level sample to rural and urban sectors: State/UT level sample size will be allocated between two sectors in proportion to population as per Census 2011 with double weightage to urban sector subject to the restriction that urban sample size for bigger states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu etc. should not exceed the rural sample size. A minimum of 16 FSUs (minimum 8 each for rural and urban sector separately) will be allocated to each State/ UT.

    1.4.8 Allocation to strata: Within each sector of a State/ UT, the respective sample size will be allocated to the different strata in proportion to the population as per Census 2011. Stratum level allocation will be adjusted to multiples of 2 with a minimum sample size of 2.

    For special strata in the rural areas of Nagaland and A & N Islands, 4 FSUs will be allocated to each.

    1.4.9 Allocation to sub-strata: Allocation for each sub-stratum will be 2 in both rural and urban sectors.

    1.4.10 Selection of FSUs:

    For the rural sector, from each stratum/sub-stratum, required number of sample villages will be selected by Probability Proportional to Size With Replacement (PPSWR), size being the population of the village as per Census 2011.
    For the urban sector, from each stratum/sub-stratum, FSUs will be selected by Probability Proportional to Size With Replacement (PPSWR), size being the number of households of the UFS Blocks.
    Both rural and urban samples are to be drawn in the form of two independent sub-samples and equal number of samples will be allocated among the two sub rounds.

    1.4.11 Selection of hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks - important steps

    1.4.11.1 Proper identification of the FSU boundaries: The first task of the field investigators is to ascertain the exact boundaries of the sample FSU as per its identification particulars given in the sample list. For urban samples, the boundaries of each FSU may be identified by referring to the map for the UFS Phase 2007-12.

    1.4.11.2 Criterion for hamlet-group/ sub-block formation: After identification of the boundaries of the FSU, it is to be determined whether listing will be done in the whole sample FSU or not. In case the approximate present population of the selected FSU is found to be 1200 or more, it will be divided into a suitable number (say, D) of 'hamlet-groups' in the rural sector and 'sub-blocks' in the urban sector by more or less equalising the population as stated below.

    approximate present population of the sample FSU no. of hg's/sb's to be formed

    less than 1200 (no hamlet-groups/sub-blocks) 1
    1200 to 1799 3
    1800 to 2399 4
    2400 to 2999 5
    3000 to 3599 6
    …...and so on .

    For rural areas of Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand (except four districts Dehradun, Nainital, Hardwar and Udham Singh Nagar), Punch, Rajouri, Udhampur, Reasi, Doda, Kishtwar, Ramban, Leh (Ladakh), Kargil districts of Jammu and Kashmir and Idukki district of Kerala, the number of hamlet-groups will be formed as follows:

    approximate present population of the sample village no. of hg's to be formed

    less than 600 (no hamlet-groups) 1
    600 to 899 3
    900 to 1199 4
    1200 to 1499 5
    1500 to 1799 6
    .….and so on .
    1.4.11.3 Formation and selection of hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks: In case hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks are to be formed in the sample FSU, the same should be done by more or less equalizing population. Note that while doing so, it is to be ensured that the hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks formed are clearly identifiable in terms of physical landmarks.
    Two hamlet-groups (hg)/ sub-blocks (sb) will be selected from a large FSU wherever hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks have been formed in the following manner - one hg/ sb with maximum percentage share of population will always be selected and termed as hg/ sb 1; one more hg/ sb will be selected from the remaining hg's/ sb's by simple random sampling (SRS) and termed as hg/ sb 2. Listing and selection of the households will be done independently in the two selected hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks. The FSUs without hg/ sb formation will be treated as sample hg/ sb number 1. It is to be noted that if more than one hg/ sb have same maximum percentage share of population, the one among them which is listed first in block 4.2 of schedule 0.0 will be treated as hg/ sb 1.
    1.5 Listing of households: Having determined the hamlet-groups/ sub-blocks, i.e. area(s) to be considered for listing, the next step is to list all the households (including those found to be temporarily locked after ascertaining the temporariness of locking of households through local enquiry). The hamlet-group/ sub-block with hg/sb number 1 will be considered for listing first, to be followed by the listing of households of the hg/sb number 2.
    1.6 Formation of second stage strata and allocation of households:
    1.6.1 All the households listed in the selected FSU/ hamlet-group/ sub-block will be stratified into three second stage strata (SSS) for both Schedule 25.0 and 25.2. Composition of the SSS and number of households to be surveyed from different SSS for the two schedules of enquiry will be as follows:
