Summary 

The Benin Socio-Anthropological Survey on Fertility and Infant and Maternal Mortality (EASFEM) was conducted as part of a larger Study on Regional Disparities in Fertility and Child and Maternal Mortality (EDRMIM). The EASFEM survey included both a household and individual questionnaire and a total of 3000 women between the ages of 15 and 45-years-old were enumerated. Sampling was done with a total of 6 strata and 120 clusters (20 clusters per strata). Data collection was disrupted due to limited financial resources and other issues such as lack of transportation.
