DHS supports a range of data collection options that can be tailored to fit specific monitoring and evaluation needs of host countries. Learn more about the types of surveys, secondary data analysis, and specialized studies that MEASURE DHS performs.

Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS)
Provides data for a wide range of monitoring and impact evaluation indicators in the areas of population, health, and nutrition.
AIDS Indicator Surveys (AIS)
Provide countries with a standardized tool to obtain indicators for the effective monitoring of national HIV/AIDS programs.
Service Provision Assessment (SPA) Surveys
Provides information about the characteristics of health and family planning services available in a country.
Qualitative Research
Provides informed answers to questions that lie outside the purview of standard quantitative approaches.

Key Indicators Survey (KIS)
Provides monitoring and evaluation data for population and health activities in small areas—regions, districts, catchment areas—that may be targeted by an individual project, although they can be used in nationally representative surveys as well.
Malaria Indicators Surveys (MIS)
Provide data on bednet ownership and use, prevention of malaria during pregnancy, and prompt and effective treatment of fever in young children. In some cases, biomarker testing for malaria and anemia are also included
Other Quantitative Surveys
Includes Biomarker Collection, Geographic Data Collection, and Benchmarking Surveys.

Survey Methodology

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Provides geographical context to DHS surveys to improve our understanding of how location affects health status, leading to more effective interventions.
