Summary 

Part of phase 4 of the DHS, the 1999-2000 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Suervey was a comprehensive, nationally representative household survey. Out of 10,628 households selected for the sample design, 9,854 were seccessfully interviewed, out of which 10,544 women (aged 10-49) and 2,556 men (aged 15 to 59) were surveyed.

The survey included three questionnaires:

  • A household survey that collected demographic information.
  • A women's questionnaire that covered topics such as reproductive history, family planning, maternal care, marriage, and health literacy concerning HIV and AIDs.
  • A men's questionnaire that was similar to the woman's questionnaire, with the ommissions of reproductive history and maternal care.

The 1999-2000 Bangladesh Service Provision Assessment occured alongside the 1999-2000 Bangladesh DHS, collecting information on the same topics through facility questionnaires.
