Summary 

The Dominican Republic Multiple Cluster Indicator Survey (MICS) 2014, also called the Dominican Republic National Multipurpose Household Survey 2014, is part of MICS5, an international survey initiative to monitor the situation of children and women. The survey is also part of the Dominican Republic National Multipurpose Household Survey series. Topics commonly covered in MICS include immunization, education, child and maternal health, family planning and knowledge of HIV/AIDS. MICS also provides data for tracking progress toward Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
