Population-based surveys provide information important to various aspects of reproductive health, such as antenatal care, fertility, contraceptive awareness/knowledge and use, and sexually-transmitted infections. With funding from USAID, CDC worked with countries and programs for over 30 years to develop and implement reproductive health surveys. Survey results can be used to get a greater understanding of reproductive health issues, and to evaluate programs and interventions. CDC currently conducts limited Reproductive Health Surveys, but past reports and datasets are available as detailed in the table below.
The reports and databases in the table below are available through the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx)
The country reports can be found in the following series:
CDC assists countries throughout the world with developing, implementing, and analyzing large national reproductive health surveys that provide high quality, population-based data about reproductive health indicators. Each country’s needs guide the survey content. Countries use data from these surveys to evaluate programs and interventions, assess reproductive health status, and develop policy. CDC’s assistance also builds capacity in the countries to conduct survey research independently.
