Description The Household Questionnaire was used to list all the usual members and visitors in the selected households. Basic information was collected on the characteristics of each person listed, including his/her age, sex, education and relationship to the head of the household. Information was collected about social grants, work status and injuries experienced in the last month. An important purpose of the Household Questionnaire was to identify women and adults who were eligible for interview. In addition, information was collected about the dwelling itself, such as the source of water, type of toilet facilities, material used to construct the house and ownership of various consumer goods.

Description In households in which there was a child under six years of age whose biological mother was either not alive or did not live in the household, information about the child was collected from a guardian using the Additional Child's Questionnaire. The level of child fostering is relatively high in South Africa and data on children's health collected only from biological mothers might be incomplete.

Description The 2003 South African Demographic and Health Survey (SADHS) is the second survey of its kind in South Africa. The findings of the survey enable us to track the changes in the health status of our population, identify risk factors, access and utilisation of key health services for the five year period since the 1998 survey.
The results of the SADHS provide valuable information for addressing important areas such as antenatal care for mothers during pregnancy and assistance at the time of delivery, child health, infant feeding practices, and the prevalence and treatment of diarrheal disease among children. Information on adult health conditions, women's reproductive intentions, fertility levels, knowledge about contraception and use thereof are also included in the findings.
