Benin Demographic and Health Survey 2011-2012
General Info
The Benin 2011-2012 Demographic and Health Survey was conducted as part of Phase 6 of the DHS. The main objective of the study was to collect data on socioeconomic, demographic, health, and nutrition indicators.
A total of three questionnaires were used including one for households, one for women ages 15 to 49, and one for men ages 15 to 64. A two-stage stratified cluster sample design was used. Although the same 750 clusters were used for the 2001, 2006 and 2011-2012 surveys, a new representative sample of households was selected for the 2011-2012 DHS. A total of 18,000 households were included in the household sample.
Blood samples were taken to estimate the prevalence of anemia and HIV among women, and anemia and malaria among children. In a subsample, men were also tested for HIV.
