Annual Health Survey (AHS) Data Released!
DSDR is pleased to announce the release of the Annual Health Survey (AHS), India, 2007-2012 (ICPSR 38097)
The Annual Health Survey (AHS) project is a three-round panel study designed to measure the impact of the National Rural Health Mission, which launched in 2002 and featured several changes to the provision of maternal and child health in India. The AHS, which interviewed over four million households in each round, explores maternal and child health in nine states that constitute about 70 percent of neonatal deaths in India.
Focusing on topics such as household composition, caste, fertility, family planning, pre- and post-natal care, breastfeeding, infant mortality, health conditions, and health care practices, the AHS includes biometric data measuring glucose, hemoglobin, blood pressure, and anthropometrics. In addition, as the data files are so large, users have the option to work with ten-percent sample files containing the same variables. The data is available in public-use and restricted versions, with the difference being the masking of disclosive dates within the public-use data.
