The idea of accident proneness, which originated in the early 1900s, has proved to be ineffectual as an operational concept. Discrete econometric methods may be useful to find out which factors are at work in the process that leads to accidents and whether there are individuals who are more liable to accidents than others.

In 1974 a household survey on economic conditions was carried out in about 80% of all households in the Machakos Project study area. This survey formed a part of an investigation into determinants of health and disease in children below five years of age. This paper deals with some background information, the field methodology employed, the construction of variables and the differences found between the eastern and western parts of the area in respect of some of these variables. The results are compared with those from in-depth sample studies carried out earlier.
