Summary 

The purpose of this survey was to track national trends in health, health care access, monitor childhood immunizations, and examine violence toward women. This round of the survey also introduced questions on rising health challenges that included risk factors for non-communicable diseases. The data were collected through in-person household and individual questionnaires. The sample size for the household questionnaire was 13,256 households.

The single respondent questionnaires included the individual questionnaire for persons ages 10-75 years. This questionnaire had a sample size of 39,789 persons. Other individual questionnaires included one for women ages 10-49 years, one on the topic of violence for females ages 10-75 years, and a multi-part immunization questionnaire. The immunization questionnaire asked about vaccine histories of children ages 12-24 months, tetanus toxoid vaccination in women who had become pregnant in the last 12 months, and HPV vaccines in girls at the age of 13 years.
