Summary 

The Colombia Demographic and Health Survey 1995 is part of phase 3 of the DHS series, a comprehensive, nationally representative household survey which covers population, education, health, nutrition, family planning and household characteristics.

The sample excluded the geographic areas outside of the continental territory of Colombia. These excluded areas represented less than 3 percent of the national population. The sample design allowed for estimations at the region level.

The survey was completed by 11,140 women ages 15 to 49 in 10,112 households. Anthropomorphic measurements were taken of children in the household under the age of 5 and all participating women.
