Albania
Albania Reproductive Health Survey, 2002
Survey Characteristics:
The Albania Reproductive Health Survey, conducted between August and
December 2002, is the first nationally representative reproductive
health survey in Albania. The survey, composed of face-to-face
interviews with 5,697 women aged 15–44 and 1,740 men aged 15–49, was
designed to produce estimates for three strata: Tirana, other urban
areas, and rural areas. The questionnaire included detailed
questions about fertility and pregnancy experience, maternal and
infant health, contraceptive knowledge and use, sexual experience,
knowledge of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections,
intimate partner violence, and various other topics related to
reproductive health.
Survey Findings:
The survey shows that Albania has a total fertility rate of 2.6
children per woman, the highest in Europe. Results reveal that
contraceptive prevalence is relatively high, at 75% among married
women and 77% for married men; however, these rates are almost
entirely due to the use of withdrawal (67% and 72% for married women
and men, respectively) with only 8% of married women and 3% of married
men reporting the use of modern methods. These are the highest rates
of withdrawal and lowest rates of modern method use reported in
similar surveys conducted in Eastern Europe and Eurasia. Other
findings include the following: prenatal care use (81%), low rate of
home births (6%), low use of postpartum care for mothers (20%)
compared to well-baby visits (79%), nearly universal awareness of
HIV/AIDS and low awareness of other sexually transmitted infections
(4%–55% among women and 3%–21% among men). However, only 56% of
women and 45% of men believed that HIV infection could be
asymptomatic. The survey also documented differential rates of
premarital sex among sexually experienced young adults (44% and 91%
among 15– to 24– year-old women and men respectively).

Azerbaijan
Reproductive Health Survey, 2001
Survey Characteristics:
The Azerbaijan Reproductive Health Survey, the first nationally
representative reproductive health survey in the country, was
conducted between April and July 2001. The survey consisted of
face-to-face interviews with 7,668 women 15–44 years of age,
including a sub-sample of 1,272 internally displaced women. The
questionnaire collected detailed information on contraceptive
knowledge and use, pregnancy and childbearing, maternal and infant
health, domestic violence, and a wide variety of other reproductive
health topics.
Survey Findings:
The survey shows that contraceptive prevalence among women in union
in Azerbaijan is 55%, with withdrawal being the most commonly used
method (accounting for 75% of contraceptive prevalence). Results
reveal poor reproductive health indicators in general, compared with
other countries of the former Soviet Union: high total induced
abortion rate (3.2 abortions per woman) and
abortion-to-live-birth-ratio (three abortions for each live birth),
high infant mortality (81 deaths/1,000 live births over the past 10
years), low prenatal care use (70%), high rate of home-deliveries
(26%), high stillbirth rate (21 stillbirths per 1,000 births) and
low birth weight (12%). The survey also documented high rates of
anemia among mothers and children aged 1–5 years (40% and 32%,
respectively).

Belize
Belize Family Health Survey Females 1999
Belize Family Health Survey Males 1999
Surveys of both men and women were conducted in December of 1999.
This represented a milestone for Belize’s Central Statistical Office
because it was the first time a male family health survey had been
done in Belize, and at the time, Belize was only the second country
from among the CARICOM countries to carry out such a survey. A total
of 3,613 women ages 15 to 49 years and 1,773 men aged 15 to 64 years
were interviewed during the course of the survey. Among Belizean
women, the total fertility rate was 3.7, which was considerably
lower than that of 4.5 in 1991. Other topics addressed in this
report included contraceptive knowledge and use, use of Maternal and
Child Health facilities, child morbidity and mortality, HIV/AIDS,
condoms and domestic violence.

Cape Verde
Inquerito Demografico e de Saude Reprodutiva, 1998
[Demographic and
Reproductive Health Survey, 1998]
Survey Characteristics:
This was the first reproductive health survey ever conducted in Cabo
Verde and included 5 of 9 inhabited islands representing 92% of the
population. Interviews were completed on 6,250 women 15–49 years of
age (95% response rate) and 2,450 men 15–54 years of age (85%
response rate).
Survey Findings:
The total fertility rate (TFR) for the 3-year period, 1995–1998, is
estimated to be 4.03 compared to an estimate of 5.95 a decade
earlier (1985–1988). The contraceptive prevalence rate is one of
highest in Africa at 53% (46% modern methods). The pill (18%) and
female sterilization (13%) are the most used methods. One-fifth of
women in union are at risk of an unintended pregnancy. Sixty-one
percent of young adult females (15–24) reported sexual experience
with the majority (56%) having pre-union sex. For young adult males,
78% reported sexual experience, almost all pre-union. Only 17% of
young adult women and 13% of men used contraception at first
intercourse.

Central America
Reproductive, Maternal and Child Health in
Central America: Health Equity Trends
Equity in utilization of health care services and differentials in
health outcomes according to wealth quintiles are key areas of interest
to governments and international donor organizations. Analyzing data
from four Central American countries—El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,
and Nicaragua—this report provides information on changes over time in a
set of key health indicators categorized by wealth quintiles. A key
issue is whether gains being made in national level indicators have been
achieved by narrowing the gap between better-off and less well-off
segments of the population. Building on a previously published
comparative report that summarizes information from El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua (Monteith, Stupp, and McCracken,
2005), this analysis takes a closer look at survey results categorized
by wealth quintiles. It relies on nationally representative data from a
series of three household surveys that were conducted in each country
between the late 1980s and 2001 or 2002. The analysis focuses on 1) key
health status indicators, including fertility, child mortality, and
nutritional status of children, and 2) key maternal and child health
service utilization indicators, including family planning, antenatal
care (ANC), delivery assistance, postpartum and newborn care, and
vaccination coverage.

Central America
Comparative Study
Reproductive, Maternal, and Child Health in Central America: Trends
and Challenges Facing Women and Children.
This comparative report summarizes the major findings from a
series of 15 surveys conducted in Central America in
1987–2003. The full report includes 11 chapters that cover topics
such as fertility, family planning, young adult sexual behavior,
HIV/AIDS, maternal health, nutrition, and child education.
This study describes the similarities and differences between El
Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua to highlight subgroups with specific needs to provide

Czech Republic
Reproductive Health Survey, 1993
Survey Characteristics:
The Czech Republic Reproductive Health Survey, conducted between
February and July 1993, explores issues related to reproduction and
women’s health in the Czech Republic. A major objective of the 1993
survey was to learn more about why traditional contraceptive methods
are widely used and why abortion is so frequently used in a country
where modern family planning methods are thought to be readily
available. The survey was composed of household interviews of 4,497
women between the ages of 15 and 44.
Survey Findings:
The survey found that 69% of women in union were currently using
contraception. The leading contraceptive methods are withdrawal
(22%), condoms (17%), and the IUD (15%). The total fertility rate
was 1.8 children per woman. Sexual activity tended to begin early
and almost always begins before marriage with 25% of women aged
15–17 years reported having some sexual experience. Use of prenatal
care services was very high and 85% of respondents felt that
abortions should be legal under all circumstances.

Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Materna e Infantil, ENDEMAIN—2004.
[Demographic, Maternal and Infant Health Survey, ENDEMAIN—2004]
Survey Characteristics:
This is the fifth in a series of surveys dating back to 1987 that
provides nationally representative information on demographic and
maternal and child health topics. The sample, which includes 28,908
households, provides estimates for 15 provinces and two regions
(Amazon and Galapagos Islands). Two separate questionnaires were
applied for independent subsamples of the sample. An individual
interview of a reproductive age woman was completed in 10,813
households and a household health expenditures questionnaire was
completed for 10,985 households. In addition to the household
expenditure questionnaire, new topics for the survey include:
domestic violence, anthropometric measures for children under 5,
school attendance for children 5 to 14, an expanded series of
questions on delivery assistance, and questions on ethnicity and
language spoken.
Survey Findings:
There has been little change in fertility or infant mortality since
the last ENDEMAIN in 1999. The TFR for 1999–2004 was 3.3 births per
women, compared to 3.4 in the last survey. The infant mortality rate
was 29 per 1000 live births, compared to 30 in the last survey.
Contraceptive prevalence increased from 65.8 to 72.7 percent of
women in a union, with use of modern methods increasing from 51.4 to
58.7 percent. The percent of children 0 to 59 months classified as
low height-for-age, an indicator of chronic malnutrition, was 23.2
percent. In the health services utilization component of the survey,
49.2 percent of persons were reported to have at least one health
problem in the last 30 days. Eighty percent had no health insurance.

Encuesta Nacional de Salud Familiar (FESAL) 2002–2003 [National Family
Health Survey (FESAL) 2002–2003]
Survey Characteristics:
This is the eighth in a series of Reproductive Health Surveys in El
Salvador. The women’s report includes 10,689 interviews completed
with women of reproductive health aged 15–49 years. The men’s
survey, which was conducted for the first time in El Salvador,
included 1,315 interviews with men between the ages of 15 and 59
years. The report revealed that the total fertility rate (TFR)
declined from 3.6 children per women between 1993 and 1998 down to
3 between 1997 and 2002. Differences existed between male and
female reporting of what proportions of their births were planned,
unplanned but wanted, and unwanted. At the time of the interview,
78% of the women in union did not want to be pregnant and 67% were
using some method of contraception. Similarly, the men indicated 68%
use of contraception.
Survey Findings:
The report reveals that the total fertility rate (TFR) declined
from 3.6 children per women during 1993–1998 to 3.0 during
1997–2002. Women reported that 58% of their births in the last five
years were planned, 18% were unplanned but wanted, and 24% were
unwanted; men reported somewhat different rates in this category,
with 75% saying the recent births were planned, 12% unplanned but
wanted, and 11% unwanted. At the time of the interview, 78% of women
in union did not want to be pregnant, and 67% were using some form
of contraception. Men reported very similar rates (68%) of
contraceptive use. Female sterilization is the most widely used
method in the country (33%), followed by injectable hormonal
contraceptive (18%) and oral contraceptives (6%). Thirty-six percent
of women in union had experienced verbal or psychological abuse in
their marriage, and 20% had experienced physical abuse. Of children
born between 1997 and 2002, 86% of the mothers had at least one
prenatal check up, and 66% had their first prenatal visit during the
first trimester. Breastfeeding is an almost universal practice; 94%
of the babies born in the past five years had been breastfed for
some period of time during their infancy, although only 24% of
infants under 6 months are exclusively breastfed as WHO recommends.

El Salvador: Encuesta Nacional de Salud Familiar (FESAL)
2002/2003, Informe Final (en Español)
Esta es la octava en una serie de encuestas de Salud Reproductiva
realizada en El Salvador. FESAL 02/03 fue realizada por la
Asociación Demográfica Salvadoreña, con la asistencia técnica de los
Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades y la
participación activa de un Comité Consultor Interinstitucional. La
encuesta de mujeres incluyó 10,689 entrevistas completadas con
mujeres en edad reproductiva (15–49). La encuesta de los hombres, la
cual fue realizada por primera vez en El Salvador incluyó 1,315
entrevistas completadas con hombres entre las edades de 15–59 años.
El informe revela que la tasa global de fecundidad disminuyo de 3.6
niños por cada mujer en el periodo 1993-1998 a 3.0 niños en el
periodo 1997–2002. Las mujeres reportaron que el 58% de sus
nacimientos en los últimos 5 años fue planeado, 18% no fue planeado
pero deseado y un 24% no deseado; sin embargo los hombres
respondieron de una forma diferente, relatando que el 75% de los
recen nacidos fue planeado, 12% no planeado pero deseado, y 11% no
deseado. Al momento de la entrevista, el 78% de las mujeres en unión
no querían quedar embarazadas, y un 67% estaban usando algún método
anticonceptivo. Los hombres indicaron tasas similares (68%) en el
uso de anticonceptivos. La esterilización femenina es el método más
común en el país (33%), seguida por el anticonceptivo inyectable
hormonal (18%) y los anticonceptivos orales (6%). El 36% de las
mujeres en unión había experimentado abuso verbal o psicológico en
sus matrimonios y el 20% experimentó abuso físico. De los niños
nacidos entre 1997 y 2000, el 86% de las madres tuvieron al menos un
chequeo prenatal y un 66% tuvieron su primera visita prenatal
durante su primer trimestre. La lactancia es casi una práctica
universal; el 94% de los bebés nacidos en los últimos cinco años
había sido amamantado por algún periodo de tiempo durante su
infancia, aunque sólo el 24% de los infantes menores de 6 meses son
amamantados exclusivamente como lo recomienda la Organización
Mundial de la Salud.

Georgia (formerly the Republic of Georgia)
Georgia Reproductive Health Survey, 2005
Survey Characteristics:
The 2005 Reproductive Health Survey (RHS) is the second population
based national survey of this type conducted in Georgia. A sample of
6,376 women aged 15–44 years, were interviewed. The recent survey
employed a sampling design geared toward providing independent regional
estimates. The overall response rate was 99%. The questionnaire covered
topics related to reproductive health for all women
regardless of marital status, and included additional questions on
family-life education and sexual behavior for women aged 15–24 years.
Survey Findings:
Preliminary findings showed that Georgian women tend to become sexually
experienced at marriage (only 3% of sexually experienced women aged
15–24 years reported premarital intercourse). Georgian women initiate and
complete childbearing at early ages, with the highest fertility levels
reported among 20– to 24– year-olds. Fifty-two percent of women who have been
pregnant in the past five years reported that their last pregnancy was
mistimed or unwanted. The survey found that the induced abortion
rate was 3.1 abortions per woman. Contraceptive prevalence among
Georgian women in union was the lowest among any of the former Soviet
republics with survey data. Only 47% of women in union reported using
any method of contraception during the month preceding the interview and
little more than half of them used a modern method (27% of women in
union), principally the IUD (12%) and condoms (9%).

Survey Characteristics:
The 2002 survey in Guatemala resulted in two Spanish language
reports: the women’s report (400 pages) and men’s report (325
pages). The women’s report documents trends in fertility, family
planning use, young adult reproductive health and practices, infant
health and mortality, nutrition, sexually transmitted diseases and
HIV, domestic violence and children’s school attendance. The men’s
report compares data between women and men on topics such as family
planning use, young adults, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV,
and domestic violence, as well as describing men’s sexual behavior,
knowledge and use of condoms, and health risks. Total fertility
rates have decreased from 5.0 children per woman in 1998–1999 to 4.4
children in 2002. Contraceptive prevalence has increased from 38% of
married women to 43% in that same time period. Female sterilization
is the most widely used method; used by 17% of married women.
Survey Findings:
The total fertility rate has decreased from 5.0 children per woman
in 1998/99 to 4.4 children in 2002, and contraceptive prevalence has

Haiti
Haiti National Contraceptive Prevalence Survey 1989
In 1989 a Contraceptive Prevalence Survey was conducted among both
men and women of reproductive age to examine fertility, contraceptive
behavior, condom use, use of maternal and child health services and
childhood immunization levels. This survey was one of a continuing
series of surveys in Haiti on fertility and contraceptive use. Similar
surveys had previously been conducted in Haiti in 1977 and 1983, and a
Morbidity, Mortality, and Utilization of Health Services Survey which
included some relevant data was conducted in 1987. The 1989 was the
first in this series to include male respondents. Contraceptive
prevalence was very low at 11% and indicated a slight increase from the
1983 and 1987 surveys, but is still lower than the 1977 prevalence of
14%.

Survey Characteristics:
Two national health surveys were conducted in Honduras in 2001– the
National Survey of Epidemiology and Family Health, or ENSEF-2001
(respondents were women aged 15–49) and the National Male Health
Survey or ENSM-2001 (respondents were men aged 15–59). Both surveys
documented trends in fertility, maternal health, family planning
usage, infant and child mortality, child health, young adults,
HIV/AIDS, male health, and children’s school attendance.
Survey Findings:
The surveys documented a decline in fertility from 4.9 children per
woman in 1996 to 4.4 children in 2001, and an increase in
contraceptive prevalence (from 50% of married women in 1996 to 62%
in 2001), especially in injectables (which increased from 0% in 1996
to 10% in 2001). The leading contraceptive method is female
sterilization, which is used by 18% of married women.

Jamaica
Reproductive Health Survey, 2002/2003
Survey Characteristics:
The 2002/2003 Jamaica Reproductive Health Survey (RHS) provides data on
the current situation in Jamaica regarding reproductive health and
contraceptive practices, and evaluate changes since 1997 and 1993.
The 2002/2003 JRHS was implemented by the Jamaica National Family Planning
Board in collaboration with the Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN).
The survey used a stratified multistage sampling design based on the 2001
Census Enumeration Districts as the sampling frame. Of 17,878 households
selected in the survey of women, there were 7,805 eligible female
respondents (aged 15–49 years) identified, of whom 7,168 (91.8%) were
successfully interviewed. Of 15,950 households selected in the survey of
young adult men, there were 2,795 eligible male respondents (aged 15–24)
identified, of whom 2,437 (87.2%) were successfully interviewed.
Survey Findings:
The Jamaica Reproductive Health survey documented the TFR at 2.5 in 2002,
a 10% decline since 1993. The survey documented an increase in
contraceptive use by women in union from 62% in 1993 to 66% in 1997 and
69% in 2002.

Moldova
Reproductive Health Survey, 1997
Survey Characteristics:
This survey represents one of seven national reproductive health
household surveys conducted or planned in Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union between 1993 and 1999 with technical assistance
of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 1997 the
Moldovan Ministry of Health, with the technical assistance provided
by the MEASURE CDC, conducted the first
national population-based survey of reproductive health. The survey
was designed to provide the Ministry of Health, international
agencies, and nongovernmental organizations active in the area of
women's and children's health with essential information on
fertility, reproductive practices of women, maternal care, maternal
and child mortality, health behaviors, and attitudes toward selected
reproductive health issues. There were 5,412 respondents.
Survey Findings:
The total fertility rate in Moldova is estimated at 1.8 births per
woman; the rate is 1.3 for women living in the four principal urban
areas, 1.6 for women in other urban areas, and 2.3 for rural women.
The age-specific fertility rate for women aged 15–19 years is 57 per
1,000, but is as high as 82/1,000 for women with an incomplete
secondary education. Forty-two percent of pregnancies in five years
prior to the survey were reported to be unintended (9% mistimed and
33% unwanted). There were 5,412 respondents.

Nicaragua
Encuesta Nicaragüense de Demografía y
Salud, 2006/07—ENDESA 2006/07
(Nicaragua Demographic and Health Survey, 2006/07)
Survey Characteristics:
This is the fourth in a series of surveys dating back to 1992 that
provides nationally representative information on demographic and
maternal and child health topics. In 1992/93 by DRH/CDC provided
technical assistance and in 1998 and 2001 TA was provided by Macro
International, Inc.
17, 209 household were interviewed, obtaining basic demographic
characteristics for 83,016 household members, and provide estimates for
15 departments and 2 autonomous regions on the Atlanta coast. An
individual interview of a reproductive age woman was completed in 14,221
households. An expanded series of questions were included on delivery
assistance and home births, school attendance for children 5 to 18,
cognitive-functional development of children under 5, and domestic
violence.
Survey Findings:
There has been little change in infant mortality since the last ENDESA
in 2001. For the period 1993–1998 estimates of mortality indicate that
42 infants per 1,000 live births died in their first year of life (ENDESA
1998). By 1997–2001 the rate declined to 30 (ENDESA 2001) and is
estimated at 29 for 2001–2006 using the current survey.
Vaccination coverage has improved in recent years following a slowdown
at the end of the 1990s. Coverage of BCG is at 98.3 for children between
the ages of 18 to 29 months. Eighty-eight percent of these children have
had MMR and 85 percent have had BCG, MMR and have completed the series
of polio and pentavalent vaccines.
While chronic malnutrition (low height-for-age) of children under 5 has
improved the current estimate for growth stunting using the new WHO
referent is 21.7 percent and is down from 32.4 (ENDESA 1998) eight year
earlier.
With 72 percent of women in union using contraceptive methods fertility
continues to fall. In the five-years preceding the 1992 survey the total
fertility rate was 4.6. By the mid 1990s TFR decline to3.9 and 3.3 by
the end of the decade. ENDESA 2006/07 indicates a fertility level of 2.7
with greatest gains in rural areas. Sixty-eight percent of contraceptive
methods are provided by the public sector and unsatisfied need for
family planning methods is estimated at 10.7 percent of all women in
union.

adults, current sexual activity, AIDS knowledge, and verbal and
physical use of women. Interviews were completed for 7,321 women
15–44 years of age (97% response rate). Field work was carried out
between March and July 2004.
Principal Survey Findings:
The TFR has declined to 2.9 for the 3–-year period, 2001–2004, a
26% decrease since the TFR of 3.9 reported for 1995–1998. Since the
last survey in 1998, contraceptive prevalence has increased by 27%
to 73% (modern methods = 61%, up from 48% in 1998). The greatest
increase has been in the use of condoms, female sterilization, and injectables. Among young adults, contraceptive use, principally
condoms, has increased from 33% to 58% at time of first premarital
sexual experience.

Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico Reproductive Health Survey (RHS) 1995–1996
Survey Characteristics:
The 1995–1996 reproductive health survey in Puerto Rico was the
first survey since
1982 to cover topics such as fertility and family planning. The
School of Public Health carried out the survey with technical
assistance from MEASURE CDC. A total of 5,944 women 15–44 years of age
(84% response rate) were interviewed with over-sampling in several
health regions so estimates would be available for all six health
regions. A three-stage probability sample design was utilized using
the 1990 census as the sampling frame.
Survey Findings:
Contraceptive prevalence is high with 78% of women in union
reporting that they or their partner use a contraceptive method (67%
modern methods). The most prevalent method used is surgical
contraception with 45% of women reporting tubal ligation and 4%
reporting their partner had a vasectomy. Almost all women (99%) with
births in the past five years had prenatal care with 82% beginning
prenatal care in the first trimester. One-third (34%) of deliveries
were by ceserean section. Most women in union (95%) have had a pap
smear and 70% have done self-breast exams. Only 12% of women smoke.
One out of 11 women (9%) report that they have been forced to have
sexual relations without their consent at least once during their
lifetime. About half (49%) of young adults 15–24 years of age report
that they are sexually experienced with 70% of them reporting
premarital sexual intercourse. Only 27% used contraception at first
premarital intercourse.

Russia
Women’s Reproductive Health Survey, 1996
Survey Findings:
The survey revealed that contraceptive prevalence was considerably
higher than expected. Between 69% and 77% of couples were using some
form of contraception. About three of every four contraceptive users
were employing a modern method, with the IUD being by far the most
popular. Despite high contraceptive prevalence, levels of induced
abortion remain among the highest in the world, with a total
abortion rate of between 2 and 3 lifetime abortions per woman. The
survey showed, however, that women almost universally hold strongly
negative opinions about induced abortion and would prefer to avoid
it to prevent unintended births. Rates of childbearing are extremely
low, about 1.3 births per woman and very few women reported wanting
to have more than two children. About 70 percent of married women
wanted to have no more children. From the survey findings, it is
clear that substantial reductions in the reliance on abortion and
improvements in maternal mortality and morbidity will depend not so
much on further increases in contraceptive use as on improvements in
method selection and reductions in contraceptive failure. There were
5,997 respondents.
