Summary 

The purpose of this survey was to collect data on fertility, family planning, households demographics, and community environments to provide information for population policies. The data were collected with three questionnaires: household, individual, and community.

The community questionnaire was only conducted in rural areas by interview with community leaders to gather information about availability of resources.
