Summary 

The 2012 Niger Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) aimed to collect socioeconomic, demographic, health, and nutrition data on women age 15-49 years, men age 15-59 years, and children under the age of 5 years.

Blood tests for anemia and HIV were administered to male and female participants. Children were also tested for anemia through a blood test. Weight and height measurements were also taken for women and children.

Three questionnaires were used; one for the household, one for women, and one for men. In total 12,000 households were selected to participate. A total of 10,750 households were interviewed and 11,160 women and 3,928 men were enumerated.
