Overview
The government of Rwanda conducted the 2010 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS) to gather up-to-date information for monitoring progress on healthcare programs and policies in Rwanda, including the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS), the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and Vision 2020.The 2010 RDHS is a follow-up to the 1992, 2000, 2005, and 2007-08 RDHS surveys. Each survey provides data on background characteristics of the respondents, demographic and health indicators, household health expenditures, and domestic violence. The target groups in these surveys were women age 15-49 and men age 15-59 who were randomly selected from households across the country. Information about children age 5 and under also was collected, including the weight and height of the children.
The main objectives of the 2010 RDHS were to:
• Collect data at the national level to facilitate calculation of essential demographic rates, especially rates for fertility and infant and child mortality, and to analyze the direct and indirect factors that determine levels and trends in fertility and child mortality
• Measure the levels of knowledge of contraceptive practices among women
• Collect data on family health, including immunization practices; prevalence and treatment of diarrhea, acute upper respiratory infections, fever and/or convulsions among children under age 5; antenatal visits; and assistance at delivery
• Collect data on the prevention and treatment of malaria, in particular the possession and use of bed nets among children under 5 and among women and pregnant women
• Collect data on nutritional practices of children, including breastfeeding
• Collect data on the knowledge and attitudes of men and women concerning sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and evaluate recent behavioral changes with regard to condom use
• Collect data for the estimation of adult mortality and maternal mortality at the national level
• Take anthropometric measurements in half of surveyed households in order to evaluate the nutritional status of children, men, and women
• Conduct confidential testing for malaria parasitemia using Rapid Diagnostic Testing in half of the surveyed households and anonymous blood smear testing at the National Reference Laboratory
• Collect dried blood spots (from finger pricks) for anonymous HIV testing at the National Reference Laboratory in half of surveyed households
• Measure hemoglobin level (by finger prick) for anemia of surveyed respondents in half of surveyed households.
Sample survey data [ssd]
Household
Scope
The Household Questionnaire was used to list all the usual members and visitors in the selected households as well as to identify women and men eligible for individual interviews. Basic information was collected on the characteristics of each person listed, including age, sex, education, and relationship to the head of household. For children under 18, survival status of the parents was determined. The Woman’s Questionnaire was used to collect information from all women age 15-49 and was organized by the following sections:
• Respondent background characteristics
• Reproduction, including a complete birth and death history of respondents’ children and information
on abortion
• Contraception
• Pregnancy and postnatal care
• Child’s immunization, health, and nutrition
• Marriage and sexual activity
• Fertility preferences
• Husband’s background and woman’s work
• HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections
• Other health issues
• Adult mortality
• Relationship in the household
The Man’s Questionnaire was administered to all men age 15-59 living in every other household in the RDHS sample. The Man’s Questionnaire collected much of the same information as the Woman’s Questionnaire but was shorter because it did not contain a detailed reproductive history or questions on maternal and child health or nutrition.
