Summary 

Part of Round 4 of the MICS series and round 6 of the DHS series, the survey covers a large number of indicators related to the health of women and children. All prefectures were included by the survey except for Vakaga due to insecurity. As a result, Vakaga prefecture was removed from final analysis. Four questionnaires were used, one for households, one for women ages 15-49, one for children under five, and one for men ages 15-49. Blood samples were taken for HIV testing from eligible participants. Data collection occurred in all areas from July to September 2010 and then additional collection was conducted in areas where coverage was too low from December 2010 - January 2011. Survey microdata and reports are available from UNICEF. Reports on HIV are also available from the DHS Program.
