Demographic and Health Survey (standard) - DHS III
Nepal
Regional : 5 developmental regions : Eastem, Central, Western, Mid-western and Far-western (Due to their small size, the mountain areas of the Westem, Mid-western and Far-western regions were combined).
The population covered by the 2008 DHS is defined as the universe of all women ever-married women and men in the reproductive age groups of 15-49 and 15-59
Sample survey data
New ERA
Face-to-face
The appendix C of the Final Report presents an assessment of the quality of the data collected in the Nepal Family Health Survey (NFHS). Unlike Appendix B which discusses the effect of sampling errors on the survey results, the discussion in this appendix focuses on the magnitude ofnonsampling errors and its potential effects on interpreting the findings of the survey. Nonsampling errors can take several forms: digit preference; rounding or heaping on certain ages or dates; omission of certain events in the past; deliberate distortion of information by some interviewers who want to lighten their workload; lack of cooperation by respondents in giving information about themselves or their children; respondents not agreeing to be weighed and measured; respondents not allowing their children to be weighed or measured.
