Therefore, it is important to understand where the prevalence of absenteeism is high. We develop a simple imputation method that combines a Service Delivery Indicators survey and a Service Provision Assessment survey to estimate the prevalence of absenteeism of health workers at the level of regions in Tanzania. The resulting estimates allow one to identify the regions in which the prevalence of absenteeism is significantly higher or lower than the national average and help policymakers determine the priority areas for intervention. 2018-07-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/soe_research/2185 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/soe_research/article/3184/viewcontent/SDILetterPaper_.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection School Of Economics eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Sub-Saharan Africa primary health facility imputation random-effects probit service delivery indicator.
