Questionnaires

Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2001 (NDHS) - Household Questionnaire

Author(s)	Ministry of Health [Nepal], New ERA
Date	2000-12-01
Country	Nepal
Language	English
Contributor(s)	ORC Macro
Description	All usual members in a selected household and visitors who stayed there the previous night were enumerated using the Household Questionnaire. Specifically, the Household Questionnaire obtained information on the relationship to the head of the household, residence, sex, age, marital status, and education of each usual resident or visitor. This information was used to identify eligible women and men for the individual interview. Ever-married women age 15-49 in all selected households and ever-married men age 15-59 in every third selected household, whether usual residents or visitors, were deemed eligible and were interviewed. The Household Questionnaire also obtained information on some basic socioeconomic indicators such as the source of drinking water, the type of toilet facilities, the ownership of a variety of consumer durable items, and the flooring material. All eligible women and all children born since Baisakh 2052 in the Nepali calendar (which roughly corresponds to April 1995 in the Gregorian calendar) were weighed and measured.

Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2001 (NDHS) - Final report

Author(s)	Ministry of Health [Nepal], New ERA
Date	2002-04-01
Country	Nepal
Language	English
Contributor(s)	ORC Macro
Description	This report highlights the findings of the 2001 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS), a nationally representative survey of 8,726 women age 15-49 and 2,261 men age 15-59. The primary purpose of the 2001 NDHS is to generate recent and reliable information on fertility, family planning, infant and child mortality, maternal and child health, and nutrition. The survey also collected information on respondents' knowledge of HIV/AIDS. Collecting these types of information is essential for making informed policy decisions, and for planning, monitoring, and evaluating programs on health in general and reproductive health in particular, at both the national and regional levels. This survey is the sixth in a series of national-level population and health surveys and the second comprehensive survey conducted as part of the global Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) program, the first having been the 1996 Nepal Family Health Survey (NFHS).

Contextual Influences on the Use of Antenatal Care in Nepal - DHS Geographic Studies 2

Author(s)	ORC Macro and Matthews, Stephen A., and Bina Gubhaju
Date	2004-09-01
Country	Nepal
Language	English
Description	This report explores the degree to which contextual factors are determinants of individual behavior, specifically regarding the use of antenatal services. Geographic variation in gender development and empowerment across districts in Nepal suggest that research on women's antenatal care behaviors may be enhanced by incorporating contextual data at the district level with individual and household level data from the 2001 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). This study of antenatal care uses DHS cluster geocodes to link with contextual data at the district level. The analysis focuses on two dichotomous outcome measures associated with antenatal care: (a) whether a woman received any antenatal care, and (b) for those women who made at least one antenatal care visit, whether she made four or more antenatal care visits during the pregnancy. A renewed focus on women's empowerment and place can help direct attention to the study of social contexts and processes, particularly those relating to maternal health behaviors. Many studies of the use of maternal health services have focused on individual- level or micro characteristics. In contrast, this study explores the use of hierarchical models, specifically hierarchical generalized linear models (HGLM), to investigate whether contextual or macro characteristics also matter. The macro-micro framework postulates that social forces at the macro level determine micro-level opportunities and constraints and thereby influence individual decisions. Policies and programs conceived without consideration for local context and place will have limited impact, unless they are informed by data that appreciates the vital connection between women's health and women's status across different spatial scales and analytical levels.
