Liberia demographic and health survey 2007

The first LDHS was conducted in 1986 as part of the worldwide DHS program; Liberia was the second country in the world and the first in Africa to conduct a DHS under this program. Liberia undertook the second LDHS in 1999/2000 outside the purview of the international DHS program with no assistance from Macro International. The 2007 LDHS covered the entire country. The survey was designed to collect, compile, analyze and disseminate information on household characteristics, housing, education, maternal health, child health, nutrition, family planning, gender, domestic violence, knowledge and behavior related to HIV/AIDS, and the prevalence of HIV infection.
