The USAID funded Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) Program has data collected from surveys in 35 countries including in Botswana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Egypt, and Morocco. DHS also has in-depth survey data on subjects pertaining to health or family planning programs from Nepal and Bolivia and data on questionnaire design and data processing concerns from Peru and Dominican Republic. Further DHS has data from male surveys conducted in Burundi, Ghana, Kenya, and Mali. A main purpose of the DHS Program is to help developing countries strengthen technical skills and resources so they can conduct demographic and health surveys themselves. An equally important goal is for the surveys to provide the governments of these countries information which they can determine solid health and population policies based on concrete information. DHS uses a core questionnaire which researchers adapt to local needs and cultures. It consists of 2 parts: a household schedule and a woman's questionnaire. The surveys gather data on infant and child mortality, prenatal and delivery care, fertility, family planning, breastfeeding, immunization, diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, fever, child nutrition status, and background and employment status of women and husbands. Some of these surveys even have data on causes of child death, maternal mortality, AIDS knowledge, social marketing, and availability of health services. As of early 1992, DHS computerized archive had datasets for 28 countries. Each country tends to have datasets on women's data, household data, and service availability data. Questionnaires, machine readable descriptions, and associated documentation accompany each dataset (US$200 and US$50 for researchers in developing countries).
