Dear SPA Team,

I have two questions about the staff listing data and would really appreciate your help.

Tanzania's SPA (2014/15) Provider Listing Form has five sheets. The instruction on the first four sheets states that "LIST ALL CLINICAL STAFF / PROVIDERS WHO ARE PRESENT TODAY IN THIS FACILITY." On the fifth sheet, it says "USE THIS FORM TO COMPILE THE NAMES OF HEALTH WORKERS WHO WORK IN THE FACILITY BUT WHO ARE NOT PRESENT IN THE FACILITY ON THE DAY OF YOUR VISIT."

1. It's unclear how the corresponding data file (TZSL71FLSR or TZSL71FLSP) distinguish health workers present on the day of enumerator visit from those who were not present. Is it possible to distinguish the two? If not, how should we interpret the staff listing data?

2. Related to #1, can we use staff listing data alone or in conjunction with the facility inventory data on staffing to measure provider absence?

Thank you.


Best,
Dan
