[Small area estimation of health indicators based on data from the Basque Country Health Survey]. / Estimación de indicadores de salud en áreas pequeñas a partir de datos de la Encuesta de Salud de Euskadi.

ABSTRACT

Health surveys are a key tool for decision-making in health policies and health services planning. The use of small-area statistical methods that use information at different geographic levels may be useful for estimating health indicators at a lower geographical level than originally considered in the survey design.
