Variations on total visits across facilities are explained partly by different catchment areas and levels of utilisation.
Unless the incidence and level of health services utilisation of non-respondents were substantially different from those who responded, this potential effect on the survey estimates would be limited especially in view of the current low rate of non-response.
We will conduct an economic evaluation to assess patterns and levels of resource utilisation associated with the two induction techniques.
They rely on a largely untested set of normative (i.e. ideas about how the world ought to be) and somewhat questionable assumptions about the "correct" level of utilisation, and on a difficult-to-measure (or conceputalise) estimates of "need".
From this several key themes are discussed: focus of the study; how far the study was based around a conceptual framework and how far comparisons or conclusions were drawn; methods and standardised measures used in assessing impacts and outcomes; levels of utilisation and other benefits shown.
The examples suggest a greater level of utilisation and final outcomes in terms of health, health equity and social and economic gain than is often assumed, whilst still showing much underutilisation.

As distance increases, the level of utilisation decreases and vice versa, and that hence people who live far away from services suffer a greater disadvantage regarding the use of services if they are also poorer and transport is expensive [50].
An understanding of the level of utilisation and pattern of forest dependency will enable researchers, policy makers and practitioners to design empirically informed interventions to diversify households' livelihood portfolios and promote sustainable resource utilisation in order to foster a balance between forest dependency and biodiversity conservation (Baiyegunhi et al. 2016; Dagm et al. 2016).
Examinations of the use of economic evaluations and Health Technology Assessments (HTAs) in policy-making have considered the importance of the quality, reliability, timeliness and comprehensiveness of research in influencing the level of utilisation [ 62- 67].
The analysis of combined HUES 2007 and 2010 databases show that the overall level of utilisation of health care, considered as contact with any type of health provider, appears to have declined slightly between 2007 and 2010, with 1.9 contacts per person per annum in 2010 compared with 2.0 in 2007 (Table 5).
