Summary 

The Paraguay Multiple Cluster Indicator Survey (MICS) 2016 is a nationally representative household survey. It is part of MICS5, an international survey initiative to monitor the situation of children and women. Topics commonly covered in MICS include immunization, education, child and maternal health, family planning and knowledge of HIV/AIDS. MICS also provides data for tracking progress toward Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to health, education and mortality. For the 2016 Paraguay MICS, 7,311 women age 15-49 were successfully interviewed from 7,313 households. Additionally, 4,625 questionnaires for children under five were completed by mothers or caretakers. Water quality testing was conducted for the presence of E. Coli in 1,790 households.
