HFS_RECAST
The questionnaire was written in english with a primary purpose of the HFS is to estimate the number of women who receive treatment in facilities for abortion-related complications.
The HFS will be a statistically representative survey of all health facilities in Kenya classified as having the capacity to provide PAC services. In each selected health facility, a senior health provider, who is knowledgeable about the provision of PAC, is interviewed. Participants are asked whether their facility provides treatment for complications following induced or spontaneous abortions. If the facility provides treatment, they are asked the number of abortion patients (induced and spontaneous abortions (miscarriages), combined) treated in an average month and in the past month. Specifying these two periods aims to increase the likelihood of accurate recall and accounting for month-to-month variation, as there is seasonality to abortions. To produce an estimate for the year, these two numbers are averaged and multiplied by 12.
