Abstract

This paper outlines the history of the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) and its work. The WFH produces a number of publications each year, and conducts regular surveys and data collection. Two of its most important roles are in the provisions of programmes to developing countries, and in promoting the views of the haemophilia community on issues that impact on the lives of people with haemophilia. Further initiatives are planned in the future to increase the length and quality of life for those living with haemophilia.

Probability estimation when some observations are grouped.

This paper considers the use of additional questions for decreasing survey non-response rates and an approach for estimating a probability based on the results obtained. In a survey, the respondents are asked to answer an original question and follow-up questions, where the answers for the follow-up questions are grouped answers for the original question. For example, respondents are asked to provide an exact number of incidents, but in cases of 'Do not know' or 'Refuse' responses, they are subsequently asked to pick an answer from a less specific categorical scale. The new estimator obtains smaller variance asymptotically and does not depend on a distribution family. This method is applied to income questions in a survey regarding injury prevention and behaviours. Another application is survey data on intimate partner violence, where some amendments were applied for incorporating post-stratification weights and for using non-random grouping. For additional illustration, an example of parameter estimation on artificially generated data is presented.
