Having access to global population and health data is critical to understanding and addressing public health issues. The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program collects and disseminates nationally representative and accurate data on population, health, and nutrition data across more than 90 countries.
This year, Blue Raster worked with The DHS Program to re-design and launch its website. The modernized look and simplified layout make it easier than ever for users to access what they need: country-specific data, powerful tools and resources, survey reports, and more.
The DHS Program's website is also mobile-friendly, meaning you can access it anytime and anywhere on your mobile device.
A new, clean look offers a feel-good navigation.
1. Explore by Country search
Search for your country of interest immediately after opening the website. Navigate to country-specific reports and statistics through this panel.
2. Featured Tool panel
DHS provides powerful tools to explore and download data. This panel gives you the chance to explore tools you may not have known about before.
3. Tools & Resources panel
View and access the complete collection of tools and resources that help make the most use of country data. This handy panel displays all of the available items. Additionally, it allows you to sort by type in order to view featured items or sort by analysis and learning tools.
4. Publications panel
View the most recent publications or search based on a country, topic, or survey. The DHS Program is known worldwide for its rigorous collection, analysis, and publishing of their data through these reports.
5. DHS Topics panel
Another way to access data and reports is through the DHS topics menu. Select topics like Malaria, Maternal Mortality, Gender, and much more.
