Abstract
The 1997 Yemen Demographic Maternal and Child Health Survey (YDMCHS) is part of the worldwide Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) program. The DHS program is designed to collect data on fertility, family planning and maternal and child health.The YDMCHS-97 has the following objectives:
1. Provide policymakers and decisionmakers with a reliable database and analyses useful for policy choices and population programs, and provide researchers, other interested persons, and scholars with such data.
2. Update and expand the national population and health data base through collection of data which will allow the calculation of demographic rates, especially fertility rates, and infant and child mortality rates;
3. Analyse the direct and indirect factors which determine levels and trends of fertility. Indicators related to fertility will serve to elaborate plans for social and economic development;
4. Measure the level of contraceptive knowledge and practice by method, by rural and urban residence including some homogeneous governorates (Sana’a, Aden, Hadhramaut, Hodeidah, Hajjah and Lahj).
5. Collect quality data on family health: immunizations, prevalence and treatment of diarrhea and other diseases among children under five, prenatal visits, assistance at delivery and breastfeeding;
6. Measure the nutritional status of mothers and their children under five years (anthropometric measurements: weight and height);
7. Measure the level of maternal mortality at the national level.
8. Develop skills and resources necessary to conduct high-quality demographic and health surveys.
