DHS in the News
Journalists worldwide write about The DHS Program results. The dissemination of DHS, SPA and HIV data is often widely covered by media in survey countries, but journalists also use The DHS Program data throughout the year as background information for their stories, or to compare health and development indicators across countries. These data are also used by journalists in the United States and other developed countries, as it is considered the gold standard of population, health and nutrition data. Below are some examples of recent news coverage. Please note: The links below are to websites outside The DHS Program.

HIV prevalence has dropped slightly in the country--from 5.7 per cent in 2008/2009 to 5.1 per cent in 2011/12, a new report shows. The infection rate remains higher for women than for men. Infections in women aged between 23 and 24 stand at 6.6 per cent as opposed to 2.8 per cent in men in the same age group, according to the Tanzania HIV/Aids and Malaria Indicator Survey report for 2011/2012 that was unveiled yesterday. http://thecitizen.co.tz/component/content/article/37-tanzania-top-news-story/30019-hiv-down-but-women-remain-at-greater-risk.html |
