Behavioural Surveillance Survey in the Highway Route of Nepal: Round IV - May 2002

The Behavioral Surveillance survey (BSS) for HIV prevention is based on serologic sentinel surveillance survey methods used in many countries to detect the emergence of HIV and monitor epidemic trends. Behavioral surveillance surveys are systems for quantatively assessing sexual behavior change, consisting of structured questionnaires, administered periodically to samples of target group specific geographic areas.

This survey is the fourth round of the BSS conducted in the highway route of the FHI project area. Like in the previous rounds this survey also provides the data that is compared against data obtained in the previous rounds.
