Summary 

The Salud Mesoamérica Initiative (SMI) focuses on reducing inequalities in maternal and child health in Mesoamerica. This dataset is the product of an SMI impact evaluation. It includes results of a baseline household census and baseline household survey conducted in eight departments in El Salvador. The census captured basic demographic characteristics of all usual household occupants and was used to produce a sample of households containing eligible women (ages 15-49) and children (ages 0-59 months) for the household survey. In the household survey, any household heads and all eligible women were interviewed. Information was collected on additional demographic characteristics; healthcare use, access, and expenditures; and perceived quality of key interventions for women of reproductive age and children. Height, weight, and anemia measurements were taken for children under age 5.
