Population programme in Viet Nam: Highlights from the 1997 demographic and health survey

The most recent Demographic and Health Survey of Viet Nam (VN-DHS II) was conducted in 1997 as a nationwide survey. Conducted by the General Statistical Office (GSO) with technical backstopping provided by Macro International, it is the country’s first such survey since the DHS conducted in 1988. The 1997 VN-DHS was among a number of activities undertaken as part of a "population and family health" project executed by the National Committee for Population and Family Planning (NCPFP).
