Summary 

The Vanuatu Demographic and Health Survey 2013 was undertaken as part of the Pacific Demographic and Health Survey Project, an initiative funded by the Asian Development Bank. The survey was conducted as a combined Demographic and Health Survey - Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (DHS–MICS). The purpose of the 2013 Vanuatu DHS-MICS was to gather information on the health of the population in order to inform and assess policies and programs. Topics covered in the survey include: housing conditions, maternal and child health, breastfeeding, immunizations, and family planning. A sample of the household cooking salt was taken and analyzed for iodine content, and anthropometric measurements, and blood samples were taken to check for anemia in persons born in 2008 and later. Interviews were completed for 1,333 men age 15+ and 2,508 women age 15-49 from 2,200 households.
