Cambodia: Demographic and Health Survey 2000, Preliminary Report

The main objective of the CDHS 2000 was to obtain current information on demographic conditions, family planning, infant and child mortality, domestic violence, and health related information such as breastfeeding, antenatal care, child immunization, children’s diseases and HIV/AIDS. Also the questionnaires are designed to evaluate the nutritional status of mothers and children and measure the prevalence of anemia.

This report presents the preliminary findings from the CDHS 2000 that are expected to be used by policy makers to evaluate the demographic and health status of the Cambodian population in order to formulate appropriate population and health policies and programs in Cambodia. The final report of the CDHS as well as the summary report containing more detailed findings will be published in the first half of 2001.
