Survey Characteristics
  • Abortion ‹Questions asking women about pregnancies that ended in an abortion. Includes pregnancy histories where abortion is mentioned as an outcome or when a question such as "Did you or someone else do something to end this pregnancy?" is used.
  • Anthropometry
  • Maternal mortality ‹A set of questions asking about all siblings of the respondent (children born to the respondent's biological mother) concerning their sex, age, survival status, and whether the death was pregnancy-related. Questions are used to estimate maternal mortality, pregnancy-related mortality, and adult mortality. Typically asked of women only but in some surveys asked of men as well.
  • Paper survey ‹Interviews conducted with paper questionnaires which are later entered into a computer at a central office.
  • Service availability ‹A survey of communities and the services available in those communities, mostly used in earlier surveys up until about 2006. Not part of the household or individual questionnaires.
