Jalin Every Mother and Newborn Counts (EMNC) Study 2019

Description

This data asset contains the data from the ‘Every Mother and Newborn Counts’ (EMNC) study carried out in Jember District in East Java Province and Serang District in Banten Province by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Jalin Project. The districts were selected based on high maternal and neonatal mortality burden and local government commitment following a consultation with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Provincial Health Offices (PHO). Data was collected in the two districts between December 2018 and April 2019. First, the study team enumerated all eligible maternal and neonatal deaths in the study areas using a proven method for counting these mortality events, known as Maternal Death from Informant/Maternal Death Follow-on Review (MADE-IN/MADE-FOR) and Neonatal Death from Informant/ Neonatal Death Follow-on Review (NODE-IN/NODE-FOR). Once eligibility was confirmed, each household experiencing a maternal or neonatal death was visited by a trained interviewer. The interviewers conducted a ‘verbal and social autopsy’ (VASA) interview with family members or household caregivers of the deceased to determine the likely causes of death and the circumstances surrounding the death. Causes of death were analyzed using the InSilico computer algorithm.

21 This dataset captures data from the ‘verbal and social autopsy’ (VASA) interviews carried out in the districts of Jember and Serang from USAID Jalin’s ‘Every Mother and Newborn Counts’ (EMNC) study. It has 363 rows and 1,261 columns. First, the ‘MADE-IN’ and ‘NODEIN’ methods relied upon undertaking independent listing exercises of deaths in women of reproductive age and newborns in the first 28 days of life using the two types of local informants which in this study are kader (community health volunteer) and Rukun Tetangga (RT). The RT unit is the smallest community unit within the village, which consists of approximately 40-100 households. There are usually 10-20 RTs in a village. Next, the lists from informants were consolidated as a complete master list of the relevant deaths in the area. From these lists, a complete enumeration of pregnancy-related deaths (PRDs) in the last two years and stillborn in the last six months was carried out in the study district. A structured VASA interview was conducted for each PRD and stillborn to identify the cause of death and other factors that may have contributed to the fatal outcome. The VASA tool used is an integration of two questionnaires, which are Verbal Autopsy (VA) 2016 from the WHO and the Social Autopsy (SA) from the Institute for International Programs of John Hopkins University (JHU), comprising the following main information: verification of death, general information about the death cases, medical and accident history associated with final illness, general signs and symptoms associated with the final illness, pregnancy and delivery complication, newborn care, care seeking prior to death, and household characteristics. https://data.usaid.gov/d/ar24-3vee
