Introduction: Global Landmine Survey
Survey Task: To conduct nationwide, community-level assessments of
minefield locations and impact on local citizens in countries with significant landmine hazards
Survey Organization: Formed by the Survey Working Group, a collaboration among
the United Nations Mine Action Service, the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining, the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, and many other NGOs.
The Survey Action Center implements the GLS in countries, sending advance missions, organizing funds and personnel, devising data collection instruments, providing GIS support…
Global Landmine Survey: Chad
SAC subcontracted to Handicap International/France Marc Lucet, Team Leader
UN Office for Project Services provided Quality Assurance Monitor
Survey implemented Q4, 2000
Core Data Collected
Survey team data General location data Terrain/geographic data Accessibility data Infrastructure data, including victim rehabilitation service data Historical conflict data Minefield/UXO location data Mine/UXO recognition and technical data Informant source data Social-economic data Mine victim/ accident data Behavioral data Qualitative observations of surveyors to provide clarity to quantitative

Zero-Inflated Poisson Model (ZIP)First publication of regression model: D Lambert Technometrics 1992Notation here similar to that used by Stata
Two linear predictors:
For Poisson regression component, have
For logistic regression component, have
where I denotes the ith district.

ZIP Log-Likelihood Function
The inverse link function for the logit is:
which distinguishes the mixture of the two distributions (Poisson and point distribution at zero, P is prob of latter),and the inverse log link for the Poisson component is:
With this notation, and with S the obsns with count yi=0,

Summary
Zero-inflated count models can be appropriate for injury data
Flexibility of using a mixture of two populations and two covariate vectors can be useful for landmine victim data modeling
At the community level, offsetting person-years may not always be the right thing to do
Common, important physical factors affect landmine injury rates
