Summary 

The Myanmar Demographic and Health Survey 2015 is part of phase 7 of the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) series, a nationally representative household survey series. The 2015-2016 MDHS is the first DHS conducted in the country. Topics commonly covered in DHS include: child and maternal health, family planning, nutrition, health behavior and knowledge, health care access and use, and immunization. For the 2015-2016 Myanmar DHS, 12,885 women ages 15-49, and a sub sample of 4,737 men ages 15-49 were successfully interviewed from 12,500 households. Finger/heel prick blood samples were drawn to test for anemia in children ages 6-59 months and women ages 15-49 who consented to testing. Anthropometric measurements were taken for 5,106 children under five.
