This World Bank study of avian influenza surveyed over 5,300 households, examining strategies to prevent the spread of avian flu in poultry, with eye toward developing a conceptual model of animal-to-animal disease transmission. The project collected detailed household and poultry sector information from a purposefully sampled rural area in Kecamatan Temon, Kabupaten Kulon Progo, DI Yogyakarta. Surveying began in late June 2007 and was completed by mid-August. 

In the household survey component, in addition to standard socio-economic information, data was collected along the dimensions of interest. Subject matter included household awareness of disease transmission channels, existing control policies, household animal husbandry practices, household views of optimal compensation policies (elicited through a willingness-to-pay methodology), and household member history of human flu-related morbidities.(SM)
