Summary 

The Tonga Demographic and Health Survey 2012 was undertaken as part of the Pacific Demographic and Health Survey Project, an initiative funded by the Asian Development Bank. The purpose of this survey was to develop indicators on the population's demographic characteristics and health status in order to measure, inform, and evaluate policies and programs. Topics covered include: fertility, adult and child mortality, children's nutrition, health care use among mothers and children, and awareness of HIV and AIDS. Data were collected through a household questionnaire, a men's questionnaire, and a women's questionnaire for man and women age 15-49. The household questionnaire focused on members and housing conditions. The women's questionnaire asked about births, maternal care, breastfeeding, immunizations, family planning, and other demographic information. The men's questionnaire asked similar demographic questions as the women's. Interviews were completed for 2,500 households, 1,742 men, and 3,068 women.
