Questionnaire on the Use of the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Data (6/30/25)

The Population Division and Statistics Division of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) would like your help to assess the potential impact of termination of the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). If you use, or have used, DHS data, please complete this brief survey. The survey collects information about the aspects of the DHS that you have used and examples of research using DHS data. Your response will help inform the direction and key elements of future demographic and health data collection and dissemination, supporting alignment with user needs and priorities. All responses will be treated confidentially and presented only in aggregate form.
