 Methods and Materials
• 3.1 Study Area

 The study was conducted in Jimma zone karsaa wereda kitimbile

kebele with total population of 6424 and total house hold 1200.
 The boundaries of the kebele:-in the East bounded by Bulbul, in
the West Tikur belto, in the north Kuusayee Beeru , in the south
Omonaada and in the south west Away Sabbu .
 The direction of the study kebele with jimma town is 30km in the
east direction .
• Note, the detail of study area description was provided in the
background of the study community as presented before.

• 3.2 Study period
The study period was conducted from june 4– 7, 2024 GC.
• 3.3 Study design
Community based cross-sectional study was conducted in
the community.
• 3.4 Source population
All household in Kitimbile kebele.
• 3.5 Study population
The Selected sampled households (250) which are found
in kitimbile kebele
• 3.6 Sample size determination

• The sample was determined by using single population

sample determination formula as shown below….
• Prevalence P = 50%

• (To obtain the maximum sample size)

• Level of significance d =5%

• Level of confidence = 95% (Zα/2 = 1.96)

• Therefore to determine the sample size used by this formula
• Sample size (n) = (Za/2)2 p (1-p)
• d2 = 1.962x0.5 (1-0.5) 0.052
• =384
• Therefore the final sample size (n) is 384.
• NF= (n/ (1+n/N))
• Where NF = the minimum sample size
• n= sample size
• N=total number of households
• NF=384/ (1+ (384/1200)) =290
• To get sampling interval (K)
K=N/nf K=1200/290= 4.14
Where, k= sampling interval
N= no of house hold
nf = sample size
1200/290=4
• 3.7 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
• Systematic random sampling technique was
used (At regular interval).
• 3.8 DATA COLLECTION METHODS
• Using semi structure questionnaire through
face to face interview.
 3.9 Data Quality Control
• Data quality control is very mandatory in research
fields since it helps to maintain highest level of
viability and utility of the undergoing research. In
our case, a number operational methods has been
applied in order to control quality of gathered data.
• Applied operational methods are:
- Strict data evaluation processes
- Assurable data figuring techniques
- Storing data safely
-Consistent mathematical and statical formulas for
calculation purposes
- Constant editing and peer reviewing of data
- Meaningful and reasonable interpretation data.
Besides those applied operational and technical
stategies of data quality control, our selected
supervisor has also been at the position guiding and
advising us on how about achieving data quality.
3.10 Plan for distributing the result
• A single mother document has been prepared
after data tallying and processing.
• A copy of document has been disseminated
among supervisors and reported to CBE
coordinating office.
 3.11 Ethical Consideration
• In most of field researches some investigative and
administrative permission is not only crucial but
also obligatory to conduct the presumably planned
tasks.
• Taking this into advisement the following steps has
been considered.
-Supportive letter was written from JU CBE
coordinating office to kebele admistration with
detailed explanation about what would be done,
purposes and timeframe of the research.
 -Students were briefed about social, cultural,
economical and political landscape of Kitimbille
kebele's community. This helped the students to know
about general lifestyle of the society specially about
norms of the community which in return enabled the
students to understand, approach and act accordingly.
-Kebele administratives where also actively guiding
and informing the students.
-Eventually leaving letter was provided by kitimbille
kebele administration.
 3.12 Challenges encountered and solution
made
-Unwilligness of some respondents to give accurate
informations about questionaries.
- Widely scattered houses and lack of clues about leading
roads to houses.
-In some houses only elderly people or kids were presenting
and we were enforced to left without asking any informations.
-Langauge barriers to some extent.
-Closed homes.
-Sometimes difficult weather conditions
-Avoiding exposing about their actual income.
 Solution Made.
• Revisiting missed and previously jumped
houses because of absence families at home.
• Allocating students who can speak local
language and knows norms among each
subgroups.
• Households expanditure level was asked
indirectly to know their income.
• Widely scatterd houses were tirelessly covered
regardless of the difficulties.
 3.13 Limitations

• Recall bias (about the age and income).

• Unwillingness to respond to the questionaries
 3.14 VARIABLES
• Variables are properties or characteristics of
some events, objects or person that can take a
different values for the same parameters.
• We have two types of variables based their
respective association with parameter under
investigation.
1.Dependant variables
2. Independant variables
 Variables
• Age
•
• Sex
•
• Religions
•
• Ethnicity
•
• Occupational status
•
• Annual income
•
• Means of communication
•
• Marital status
•
• Vital registration
•
• Morbidity ( in last 2 weeks)
•
• Mortality (in last 12 month)
•
• Crude death rate (Total number of death in last 12 month in the population)
•
• Crude birth rate( Total number of birth in last 12 month in the population)
•
• Total fertility rate( Total number of fertility in last 12 month in population
•
• Educational status (Literate and Illiterate)
•
• Place of delivery (HI, TTBA and Home)_x0000_
1.Dependent variables: are studied under the
supposition or demand that they depend, by
some law or rule (e.g., by a mathematical
function), on the values of other variables.
E.g:
Morbity
Mortality
Birth and
Annual income are dependant variables.
2.Independant Variables: It is a variable that
stands alone and isn't changed by the other
variables you are trying to measure.
E.g:
Age Educational status
Sex Marital status
Educational status........
