Now users can visualize these data through interactive column charts, line graphs, maps, and scatter plots.\u00a0 Users can select indicators and countries of interest, add background characteristics such as age, education, and wealth, and instantly see in a chart what is hard to discern in a table. These images are exportable for use in papers and presentations.\u00a0 Data tables have also been enhanced, allowing users to sort data and customize their view.<\/p>\n<p>The <a title=\"MEASURE DHS\" href=\"http:\/\/www.measuredhs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MEASURE DHS<\/a> web tools allow for the sharing of Demographic and Health Surveys data from 90 countries and over 260 surveys.\u00a0 Data are made available through free publications, datasets, and online data visualization tools.
