Announcement Description

In March 2023, the project commissioned a consultant to conduct a Basedline Study to assess the KAP among the target beneficiaries. This baseline study is intended to obtain reliable and relevant data on the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices of the population in the target areas of Chamkar Leu and Oreang Ov Operational Districts (OD) in the province of Kampong Cham and Tboung Khmum provinces, in NCDs and Mental Health with a view to developing intervention strategies that can improve the health promotion and generation of demand/increase access to mental health care. In Chamar Leu OD, we work in 1 district referral hospital and 5 health centers. In Oreang Ov, we work in 1 district referral hospital and 4 health centers. There are 112 villages in total under the catchment areas of these 9 health centers.

The survey collected data from a sample of 602 respondents, of which 407 were female. These respondents were selected from 26 out of the 112 target villages in the project. The sample was designed to be representative of the entire population residing in the catchment areas of the target project areas, which consisted of 99,388 individuals, with 50,823 of them being female. The sample encompassed a diverse range of individuals, including 64 children and adolescents aged 13 to 18 years old, 25 healthcare staff members, 17 patient family members, 9 village volunteers, 35 vulnerable disabled and elderly individuals, 41 women with children under three years old, 4 pregnant women, and 407 general villagers.
