estimate of prevalence of pill use and sample dispersion
and representation. The study employed a two-stage
stratified sampling done for urban and rural areas to
obtain separate estimates for these two areas. A combined
estimate for national was obtained as well. In designing
the sampling plan, the level of acceptable error was
assumed at ± 5%.

national sanitation practices. The focus was address the
issue of sanitation from two perspectives:
Firstly, it was through addressing leaders, administrators

programmatic interventions for promoting proper
sanitation practices, and
Secondly, it was through motivating the general public to
adopt desired sanitation practices through programmatic
interventions in alliance with implementing agencies and
support organizations.

Household by the Year 2000”, the NSW, 1998 was
expected to serve as a burst awareness builder for the
broader objective of programmatic interventions in
promoting sanitation practices in the country. As one of
the partners of the government in advocating health and
sanitation, UNICEF has felt the need to assess the various
activities and endeavors of the NSW, 1998 in order to
undertake an ex-post review of the communication

upper-middle class families). This campaign expected to
promote a code of conduct towards child domestics
(defined as falling up to the age of 16 years). The middle
class is selected as the primary target of the campaign
because it is the major employer of child domestics and is
the change agent in societal behavior. Before undertaking
this campaign, UNICEF feels the need for understanding

domestics in the society with the objective of formulating
appropriate communication intervention strategies.
Objective

Description of each respondent class is detailed below:
Employers: Identified as the urban middle class
employers. Adult employers, identified as housewives,
was the primary respondent category.
Children non-employers and senders: One of the
secondary sample probed from the middle class families

government schools. Non-employers were defined as
those households, which did not employ child domestics
(but may or may not have employed previously) during
 CURRICULUM VITAE OF CHOWDHURY GOLAM KIBRIA

the time of survey. Sender were defined as slum families

who send their children to work as domestics.
Information Probe

The relationship between the age of the domestics and the
kind of work assigned
