Access to animal health services and drugs, and practices and knowledge related to antimicrobial resistance, among Vietnamese chicken farmers
Antibiotic use in livestock production is extensive globally, and it is generally accepted that antibiotic use is closely linked to the development of antimicrobial resistance.
To increase the understanding of what drives antibiotic use on farm level within small- and medium-scale chicken farming in Vietnam, a survey-based study was performed among 305 chicken farmers in Thai Nguyen province in northern Vietnam.
The questionnaire contained 102 questions concerning several aspects. Access to animal health services and veterinary drugs was investigated, as well as farmers' routines and practices related to antibiotic use and disease prevention. The farmers' knowledge about antibiotics and resistance development and spread was also evaluated.
The dataset consists of 306 rows and 187 columns. Variable names and answers are coded and explanations can be found in a separate file, "Chicken farm KAP_Vietnam_2023_explanations". The questionnaire can be found in the file "Chicken farm KAP_Vietnam_2023_questionnaire".

Description of sampling:
A sample size of 300 farms in total was considered sufficient for the purpose of the study, and was distributed evenly between the two farm-size categories. To select farms to be included, lists of all small- and medium-scale chicken-raising households, were collected from the sub-Department of Animal Health (sub-DAH) in each district. To avoid an over- or under-representation of a district, the numbers of farms to be included were stratified according to the proportion of farms in each farm size category in each district.
Two sampling frames, one for each farm-size category, were created from the obtained lists of chicken-raising households for each district. For logistic reasons, villages with less than five households were removed from the sampling frames. According to the stratification, households were then randomly selected via an online randomization tool (randomizer.org). If one household needed to be replaced for any reason, a nearby farm that met the requirements was included instead.
