Abstract

The primary objective of the 2017 Indonesia Dmographic and Health Survey (IDHS) is to provide up-to-date estimates of basic demographic and health indicators. The IDHS provides a comprehensive overview of population and maternal and child health issues in Indonesia. More specifically, the IDHS was designed to:
- provide data on fertility, family planning, maternal and child health, and awareness of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to help program managers, policy makers, and researchers to evaluate and improve existing programs;
- measure trends in fertility and contraceptive prevalence rates, and analyze factors that affect such changes, such as residence, education, breastfeeding practices, and knowledge, use, and availability of contraceptive methods;
- evaluate the achievement of goals previously set by national health programs, with special focus on maternal and child health;
- assess married men’s knowledge of utilization of health services for their family’s health and participation in the health care of their families;
- participate in creating an international database to allow cross-country comparisons in the areas of fertility, family planning, and health.
