Abstract
Surveys conducted in the context of the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) programme are an important source of data on health of families in developing countries. Both at the national and international level, DHS surveys provide much-needed data on fertility and family planning, on mortality and nutrition, and on health services utilization. The use of uniform survey instruments allows detailed international and subnational comparisons of health status and health care. Limitations of the DHS surveys are also discussed.Keywords: Data Analysis; Data Collection; Data Quality; Demographic And Health Surveys; Demographic Factors; Demographic Surveys; Government Agencies; Organizations; Population; Population Dynamics; Research Methodology; Usaid; World
