Reproductive Health Surveys

< back to: Tools & Publications

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.

Learn more about the survey technical assistance CDC provides, and find out how our survey team can assist your agency with large surveys.
