Summary
This Special DHS used a limited version of the standard DHS in order to test two methods, the network scale-up method and the proxy respondent method, used for estimating the size of populations at higher risk for HIV. The survey also used an extension of the network scale-up method, DANSUM, to enable the calculation of crude death rates for adults; results are presented in the report.
The survey used a two-stage sample design with a representative sample of 2,125 households. All men and women, ages 15 and older, were eligible for the individual interview.
