Author(s)	National Scientific and Applied Center for Preventive Medicine (NCPM)
Date	2005-06-01
Country	Moldova
Language	English
Contributor(s)	ORC Macro
Description	The Household Questionnaire was used to list all the usual members and visitors in the selected households and to identify women and men who were eligible for the individual interview. Basic information was collected on the characteristics of each person listed, including their age, sex, education, and relationship to the head of the household. In addition, a separate listing and basic information on former household members who had emigrated abroad was collected. The Household Questionnaire was also designed to collect information on characteristics of the household's dwelling unit, such as the source of water, type of toilet facilities, materials used for the floor and roof of the house, ownership of various durable goods, etc. Finally, height and weight measurements, and the results of hemoglobin measurements for consenting women age 15-49 years and children age 6-59 months were recorded in the Household Questionnaire.

Moldova Demographic and Health Survey 2005 - Woman's Questionnaire

Author(s)	National Scientific and Applied Center for Preventive Medicine (NCPM)
Date	2005-06-01
Country	Moldova
Language	English
Contributor(s)	ORC Macro
Description	The Women's Questionnaire was used to collect information from all women age 15-49. These women were asked questions on the following topics: - background characteristics (education, residential history, media exposure, etc.); - reproductive history; - knowledge and use of family planning methods; - fertility preferences; - antenatal and delivery care; - breastfeeding and infant feeding practices; - vaccinations and childhood illnesses; - marriage and sexual activity; - woman's work and husband's background characteristics; - infant and child feeding practices; - childhood mortality; and - awareness and behavior about AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The Women's Questionnaire had a number of important additions to the DHS model questionnaire. First, a series of questions were incorporated to obtain information on women's experience of domestic violence. These questions were administered to one woman per household. In households with two or more eligible women, special procedures were followed in order to ensure that there was random selection of the women to be interviewed with these questions. Another addition to the Women's Questionnaire was a vaccination module for each child under the age of five years to be completed at the local health clinic. According to child health experts, immunization information is more frequently kept at the health clinic than on a health card in the mother's possession. The purpose of this module was, therefore, to collect information on immunizations from the local health clinic in addition to that collected during the woman's interview. The vaccination module provides better quality immunization indicators because information gathered during the interview is augmented with information from the local health clinic. Closely related to the Women's Questionnaire is the caretaker module. This separate module contains the same set of child health questions as those in the Women's Questionnaire regarding immunizations, childhood illnesses such as fever and diarrhea, and nutrition. The purpose of this module is to gather information on children under age 5 years whose mother does not live in the selected household or is not available to be interviewed. This is important because of the large number of young women emigrating and leaving behind a significant number of children to be cared for by another caretaker.

Description	The Men's Questionnaire was administered to all men age 15-59 living in every third household in the MDHS sample.
