Adolescent Data Available from The DHS Program

Adolescence is a period of great change and opportunity. Investments in promoting adolescent health and wellbeing can have far reaching effects for individuals and communities, positively impacting a country’s ability to develop and thrive.

Since 1984, the USAID-funded Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program has collected, analyzed, and disseminated nationally representative data on population, health, HIV, and nutrition through more than 300 surveys in 90 countries.
