Summary View help for Summary
The Ghana Population, Consumption, and Environment Survey (or Ghana-PCE Survey) was conducted in 2002 in collaboration with investigators at the University of Science and Technology (Kumasi) and the University of Cape Coast. The survey was designed to examine the social and demographic processes that are closely linked to health and environmental health risks, and how these in turn influence local thinking about environmental issues. The 2002 Ghana-PCE Survey collected information on women's birth histories (birth dataset), occupations and events over the respondent's lifetime (men's and women's calendar datasets), and the health of respondents' children who were at or under 6 years of age (children dataset). Additionally, information was collected on the availability of services such as electricity and drinking water, economic conditions, and perceived necessity of developmental programs (community dataset), as well as the availability of services such as waste disposal, the size of households, and the materials used in construction of houses (household dataset). Respondents' were also asked about voting behavior, community organization membership, public health practices, knowledge of illnesses in children, prevention and treatment of diseases, family planning, and environmental attitudes and awareness (individual dataset). Demographic information collected includes age, sex, occupation, birth region, languages spoken, ethnicity, marital status, residence ownership, religion, and education.

Sample View help for Sample
The 2002 Survey incorporated a two-stage stratified, clustered sampling design. Fifty-four primary sampling units called Enumeration Areas (EA) in Ghana were sampled in the first stage and were stratified by rural, semi-urban, and urban areas. Three EAs were selected from each of the three strata in each of the six districts (3*3*6=54). A census was conducted of the 54 EAs and 24 households were randomly sampled within each EA for the survey.

The data are not weighted, however, this collection contains several weight variables which users should apply during analysis: MPCEWGT (Men's weight), WPCEWGT (Women's weight), ALLPCEWGT (Men's and Women's weight for combined analysis), and HHPCEWGT (Household weight). All child level analysis should use the women's weights.
