Demographic and Health Surveys

Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) are comprehensive studies that collect data on population health and demographics in various countries, primarily in developing regions. They gather information on factors such as fertility rates, maternal and child health, nutrition, and access to healthcare. By conducting interviews and surveys with households, these studies aim to inform public health policies and programs. The data is crucial for governments and organizations to understand health trends, improve health services, and measure progress towards health-related goals, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes for communities.
