and the Louisiana Recovery Authority, and in and the Louisiana Recovery Authority, and in coordination with the US Centers for Disease Control coordination with the US Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention and the US Census Bureau.and Prevention and the US Census Bureau.

Project GoalsProject Goals

I. Obtain population estimates and key indicators for public health and economic development planning,

II. Compare survey-based population estimates with modeled estimates, and

III. Develop a sustainable survey program to provide continuous population estimates as requested by state and parish authorities. Ultimately, the purpose of this project is to provide state and local authorities with the information that they need to make informed decisions for rebuilding and future disaster preparedness.

Project HistoryProject HistoryHurricanes Katrina (August 29, 2005) and Rita (September 23, 2005) caused extensive damage across southern Louisiana and displaced numerous residents from the affected parishes. The mass migration which resulted from the 2005 hurricane season has caused great uncertainty around the population size and demographics in Louisiana. As recovery progresses, timely, accurate population estimates are critical to guide decision-makers across all sectors in efficient resource allocation and planning.

Building upon methodology developed through federal and local collaboration in conducting rapid population estimates for December 2005 and January 2006, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), US Census Bureau (Census), and the Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) collaborated to conduct rapid surveys across coastal, severely hurricane-affected parishes in Louisiana on behalf of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) and Louisiana Recovery Authority (LRA).

PopEst-LA Project Design Schematic: PurposePopEst-LA Project Design Schematic: Purpose

The PopEst-LA Project Design Schematic is intended as a platform for documenting and articulating the principle survey activities, data flow, organizational structure, and administrative duties of the 2006 Louisiana Health and Population Survey (PopEst-LA). The purpose of the Design Schematic is to promote an understanding of the methods and mechanisms used to conduct the survey project. By documenting the project structure, the goals of the Design Schematic are to:

1.Build capacity within the Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) to repeat and improve upon the PopEst-LA survey project during future survey rounds.

2. Communicate conceptual and operational knowledge to current and potential stakeholders and partners.

3. Share PopEst-LA survey design concepts with other organizations interested or engaged in conducting similar projects.

The Design Schematic is intended to present project components in a logical, graphical, and interactive framework. Flow diagrams, schematics, and descriptions are arranged contextually and in order of increasing granularity.

Data and Process DescriptionsData and Process Descriptions

1.0 Sample Selection1.0 Sample Selection

The 2006 Louisiana Health and Population Survey relies on a two-stage cluster sample design in which n block clusters are selected and k housing units (HU) are sampled in each block cluster. Block clusters are geographic areas composed of one or more census blocks. The U.S. Census Bureau creates block clusters based on the number expected housing units (i.e. number of housing units recorded during the 2000 Census). The Census Bureau randomly selects a predetermined number of block clusters within each parish – 80 block clusters in urban parishes and 55 block clusters in rural parishes. In the case of Orleans Parish, a geographic stratification was made to separate the East Bank from the West Bank of the Mississippi River and within the East Bank a stratification was made to separate generally flooded from generally un-flooded areas.

The US Census Bureau provides the Technical Manager with an Excel Spreadsheet of the selected block clusters for Listing.

2.0 ListingA lister is sent to each selected block with the object of creating a list of all HUs within the block cluster. At A lister is sent to each selected block with the object of creating a list of all HUs within the block cluster. At this time a determination of habitability is made for each HU based on standardized definitions and criteria.this time a determination of habitability is made for each HU based on standardized definitions and criteria.

Once the block cluster is listed, the lister consults a table to determine how many housing units to sample Once the block cluster is listed, the lister consults a table to determine how many housing units to sample based on the difference between the expected number of housing units (the number recorded during the based on the difference between the expected number of housing units (the number recorded during the 2000 census) and the actual number of housing units recorded from listing. In urban parishes, five (5) HUs 2000 census) and the actual number of housing units recorded from listing. In urban parishes, five (5) HUs are sampled in each block cluster and in rural parishes 10 HUs are sampled in each block cluster. are sampled in each block cluster and in rural parishes 10 HUs are sampled in each block cluster.

Once the lister determines the number of HUs to select, he/she refers to the appropriate random number Once the lister determines the number of HUs to select, he/she refers to the appropriate random number table and selects the row which corresponds to the actual number of housing units listed. This row in the table and selects the row which corresponds to the actual number of housing units listed. This row in the random number table instructs the lister which random number table instructs the lister which habitablehabitable housing units to select based on their order on the housing units to select based on their order on the listing sheet.

3.0 Surveying3.0 Surveying

Approximately 2-3 weeks after the listing activity is completed in a parish, a team of surveyors travels to the block clusters in the parish to conduct follow-up survey visits on those housing units that were sampled during the listing phase and did not return a completed survey by mail or did not call in to conduct the interview by telephone. Housing units that require follow-up survey visits are called housing units to survey (HUTS). Surveyors will visit each HUTS a minimum of four (4) times during the survey period unless one of the following scenarios occurs: (1) an encounter produces a completed interview, (2) an encounter produces a hard refusal to participate, (3) the HUTS no longer exists (e.g. demolition), or (4) two ‘reliable’ proxies confirm that the HUTS is ‘unoccupied.’

HUTS which result in completed surveys are classified as ‘Complete Interview’ and ‘Partial Interview’ when only some of the survey is completed (this happens on occasion when a respondent concedes to participate but subsequently refuses to participate any further).

The number of expected housing units from the 2000 Census, the number of actual housing units identified during listing, and the number of housing units sampled are applied to survey response rates to calculate a statistical weight for each block cluster within the parish. Statistical weights are then applied to survey data to calculate parish-level estimates for each variable.

Survey Visit Assignments

Field Coordinator assigns Housing Units to be surveyed within Block Cluster to surveyors

FIELD COORDINATOR

Material Distribution to Surveyors

Surveyors are given a Surveying Materials Packet for their respective Block Clusters

FIELD COORDINATOR

Survey Visit

Surveyor conducts as many as 4 visits * to assigned Housing Unit unless one of the following occurs:

1. Encounter is made and interview is completed or hard refusal occurs.

2. Sampled Housing Unit no longer exists (due to demolition)

3. Completed Survey was attained during that time by mail or telephone

Household Contact is MadeHousehold Contact is Made Household Contact is NOT Made

Field QC

Coordinator conducts QC on 100% of the completed Survey Visit Tracking Forms and surveys for the Housing Units with recorded outcomes

. Correct/ complete forms are validated with Coordinator’s name, ID number, and date of validation.FIELD COORDINATOR

Surveyors deliver Completed Survey Visit Tracking Forms and Surveys (when applicable) with recorded outcome to Field CoordinatorsSURVEYORS

Validated Survey Visit Tracking Forms and Surveys are brought to Operations Manager at the management office

Office QC

10% of randomly selected Survey Visit Tracking Forms and Surveys without previously indicated issues are QC

100% of Survey Visit Tracking Forms and Surveys with issues previously indicated by the Field Coordinator are QC


“Spot Checks”
