Abstract:

The 2005 Demographic and Health Survey in Armenia (ADHS) is the second undertaking of its kind. It is a nationally representative survey designed to provide information on fertility levels, sexual activity, fertility preferences, knowledge and use of contraception, breastfeeding practices, nutritional status of women and children under five years, childhood mortality, maternal and child health, abortion, adult health, women's empowerment, and knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The information collected by the ADHS updates the health and demographic indicators collected during the previous DHS survey in 2000. The fieldwork for the ADHS was conducted from September through December 2005. The survey collected information from 6,707 households, 6,566 women age 15-49 and 1,447 men age 15-49. The data are statistically significant at the national level, for urban and rural residence, and for the eleven administrative regions (Yerevan, Aragatsotn, Ararat, Armavir, Gegharkunik, Lori, Kotayk, Shirak, Syunik, Vayots Dzor, and Tavush).
