Summary 

The 2012 Gabon Demographic and Health Survey was part of phase 6 of the DHS series. Topics covered included fertility, family planning, child health, mortality, maternal health, immunization, and use of insecticide-treated bednets.

A national sample of 9,755 households was enumerated for the survey. Women within the households ages 15-49 were eligible for interviews, and a subsample of approximately 5,880 men ages 15-59 were surveyed. Within this subsample, men and women were eligible for HIV testing, and women and children ages 6-50 months were eligible for hemoglobin testing.
