In 2019, there was approximately *** billion New Zealand dollars worth of office, administration and public transport building work in New Zealand. This was an increase from 2015, in which there was approximately *** billion New Zealand dollars worth of office, administration and public transport building activity throughout New Zealand.

Context

In October 2021 the World Health Organization (WHO) published an article about how Mental Health services have been pushed to the limit during the COVID-19 pandemic while stating that the next pandemic will be on mental health encouraging governments to increase their expenditure on Mental Health.

While searching for Mental Health service usage and expenditure in New Zealand we found that the information is spread in several excel spreadsheets from 2002 to 2020 with different sources, formats, and accessibility.

We then proceeded to gather some of the information provided by the New Zealand Ministry of health into 3 datasets that summarise the usage of these services in the last 20 years.

Inspiration

The main inspiration for this dataset was to find a way of building a continuous pipeline for future reference of Mental Health Service usage in New Zealand.

Our first approach was to match Government Expenditure and usage of Mental Health Services in NZ over the last years but finding information about specific government expenditure is hard to come by, So we decided to focus mostly in creating a solid dataframe about mental health service usage over the years.

Data Sources

Ministry of Health New Zealand

This data source was chosen for its ease of access and ability to web scrape.

Datasets were available from three sources: 1) Datasets from 2002 to 2008 2) Dataset of 2010 3) Dataset from 2011 to 2020

3 different crawlers were developed in order to maintain consistency over sources. Datasets from 2011 onwards are displayed in the ministry of health new Aggregated Data Site..

Datasets from 2002 were gathered from legacy sources on the list of reports by the ministry of health

The data provided in this data sets can be classified into 3 groups:

1) NZ Mental Health services usage by gender, age and ethnicity. 2) NZ Mental Health service usage by DHB's (District Health boards) 3) NZ Metal Health service usage by Service provided.

"Data is sourced from the Programme for the Integration of Mental Health Data (PRIMHD). PRIMHD contains Ministry of Health funded mental health and addiction service activity and outcomes data. The data is collected from district health boards (DHBs) and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).

PRIMHD data is used to report on what services are being provided, who is providing the services, and what outcomes are being achieved for health consumers across New Zealand's mental health sector. These reports enable better quality service planning and decision making by mental health and addiction service providers, at local, regional and national levels."

We have combined the data in the excel files provided by the MOH into a single data frame.

Intention of usage.

The idea behind the project is to have an incremental dataset for past and future reference, allow ease of access to timeseries information and better visibility.

Problems while gathering data.

We will divide the problems while gathering information into 2 categories: Downloading and Wrangling.

Downloading

The ministry of health releases an anual report on Mental Health since 2002, this reports are uploaded to the stats page of the Ministry of Health's website.

Reports from 2002 to 2007 have an aggregated site where they can be downlaoded programmatically. Reports from 2008 and 2010 have their individual site and had to be added manually to the download process. Reports from 2011 onwards have their own Mental Health page where they get uploaded every year. This website allows us to make incremental updates to the current dataset.

This 3 types of published papers required individual processes to download programmatically, 2 of them were scrapped from lists, and 1 of them manually added to the dataset.

While developing the download process for reports from 2011 we also find that some links were broken or required manual intervention, this had to be solved with exceptions for different years.

We developed parsers for this matter and expect changes in the future that can be solved by adding simple exceptions to new years given that they change, which at this stage is uncertain.

For the scraping part of the project we used R's rvest library.

Wrangling

The reports published by the Ministry of Health are given in excel format. R's tidiyverse and readxl libraries were used.

These reports are given in multi sheet excel files that have changed considerably over the years and had to be solved with individual parsers.

For this we...

Abstract

The first national census of Timor-Leste was conducted from the 11th of July to the 30th of July in 2004 with 4,000 interviewers visiting over 190,000 households across the country. The Census provides Asia's newest nation with its first full population count after the traumatic events of 1999 and base line statistics on housing, employment, fertility and literacy. The census statistical data and indicators, at both national and district levels, will assist the country's administrators and international organisations in planning for sustainable development programs.

In July 2002, a mission comprised of experts from the United Nations Population Division, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and the Malaysian Department of Statistics was asked to explore the feasibility of conducting a Population and Housing Census in the newly independent Timor-Leste. Although considered as a difficult undertaking, it was determined to be viable.

UNFPA organized the necessary technical and human resource support and provided the major part of the funding needed to carry out the census. Since 2002 two UNFPA Census Projects have been supporting census activities and have expended more than three million dollars. This major financial contribution was supplemented by the assistance of other donors: the United States, which among other things paid for some equipment, the printing of questionnaires and other forms, and also funded technical assistance for data editing; Ireland, which funded the census publicity campaign; New Zealand, which provided funding for technical experts; and Australia, which assisted in the training of data input personnel and in funding several technical assistance missions.

Research instrument

The questionnaire developed for the pilot census went through a review. A consultant from Statistics New Zealand worked on the questionnaires and talked with government ministries, various UN agencies, NGO's and other interested parties about content and format. Where changes were made, small field tests were carried out to confirm workability and acceptability. By January 2004, the questionnaires were ready to present to the Census Technical Committee and then to government agencies for formal acceptance. During that process, some minor changes were made, but the basic questionnaire was maintained.

Three types of questionnaires were used: one for households, one for institutions (prisons, orphanages, convents, hospitals and boarding schools) and one for hotels. This section refers only to the household questionnaire.

The household questionnaire was prepared in four languages: Tetum, Portuguese, Indonesian and English.

The questionnaire was well designed. The format, wording and arrangement of questions received a great deal of attention. It was short, simple, easy to apply, and included most of the standard census questions and items. The purpose here is not to evaluate the questionnaire in detail, but it is important to mention that the data collected with it has proved to be extremely useful for a number or purposes. The usefulness of the data is a good indicator of the format adequacy and organization of the questionnaire and the relevance of the questions included. It is also important to highlight that, up to now, various data analyses have shown that most of the information is reliable. However, it is also important to recognize there is plenty of space for improvement and the questionnaire for the 2010 Census will be much better. Actually, several analyses of the data obtained with the questionnaire clearly show the need to modify the next census questionnaire and, especially, include additional questions.

Cleaning operations

The first activity was checking and editing the waypoint file. Three main problems were found: duplicate waypoints, waypoints where letters were used instead of numbers, and invalid waypoint numbers. In all cases the errors were manually corrected. Duplicate waypoints were removed, alphanumeric numbers with "o" instead of "0" or "B" instead of "8" were rectified, and waypoints close to invalid waypoints were compared to obtain a clue as to what the likely correct number should be.

After linking waypoints with questionnaire data it was realized that the vast majority of waypoint numbers could be linked to their corresponding dwelling sticker numbers. However, it also became apparent that there were still discrepancies between the two databases: Some questionnaires could not be linked to waypoints and some waypoints could not be linked to questionnaires. These problems were solved with the help of maps, comparisons with nearby waypoints and, in some cases, with new visits to suspect dwellings or entire areas. CSPro, a software package developed by the US Bureau of the Census, was used to capture, process, and edit data.

The data capture team was formed as soon as the interviewing was completed. Staff received training in subjects such as understanding the census process, the design of the census forms, and how to operate the data-entry program. Approximately 38 data-entry operators undertook the work in several shifts. The data was captured by keyboard.

After the data was entered, a process of editing and imputation of data was conducted.

It is important to mention data capture and processing was a weak part of the census operation. Data entry had to be repeated because of the many mistakes and errors done the first time. In addition, after the data was finally entered, it took an unnecessarily long period to process end edit it. Data-capture ended in February 2005 and the edited master file was not ready until December 2005. Even then there were still some inconsistencies, especially in fertility and school enrolment data. Such inconsistencies are minor, but they may reduce the credibility of some results.

The underlying causes of the previous problems were poor use of technical assistance, largely due to lack of management continuity. The NSD is aware of this weakness and the need to address it for the next census.
