Summary 

The survey is part of the Gulf Family Health Survey (GFHS), a research program executed by the Council of Health Ministers of the GCC States. The sample of 11,080 households was based on the 1992 census.  The survey instrument consisted of four questionnaires: household health status, household socioeconomic and environmental conditions, reproductive health, and child health.  The first two questionnaires were successfully administered to 10,510 households.  The reproductive health questionnaire was answered by 8,894 ever-married women under 50 years of age, while the child health questionnaire gathered information on 10,831 children under five years of age. The report included demographic information, general health indicators, patterns of chronic illness and care-seeking  behavior, nuptiality, indicators of safe motherhood and obstetric complications, child nutritional status, breastfeeding and supplementation, childhood morbidity, and immunization.
