Survey Types

DHS supports a range of data collection options that can be tailored to fit specific monitoring and evaluation needs of countries. 

Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS)
Provide data for a wide range of monitoring and impact evaluation indicators in the areas of population, health, and nutrition.

Malaria Indicator Surveys (MIS)
Provide data on bednet ownership and use, prevention of malaria during pregnancy, and prompt and effective treatment of fever in young children. In most cases, biomarker tests for malaria and anemia are also included.

Service Provision Assessment (SPA) Surveys
Provide information about the characteristics of health facilities and services available in a country.

Other Quantitative Surveys
Include Benchmark Surveys, KAP Surveys, Panel Surveys and other specialized surveys.

Qualitative Research
Provides informed answers to questions that lie outside the purview of standard quantitative approaches.
