Description:This Georgia Reproductive Health Survey 2010 is the third in a series dating back to 1999. Areas of focus include: fertility, women s reproductive practices, maternal care, maternal and child mortality, health behaviors, and attitudes toward certain reproductive health issues. n=6,292 women 15-44.
Over the past several years, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and other multilateral and bilateral donors have invested resources to improve access to family planning and other reproductive health services in Georgia. Through funds provided by USAID and UNFPA, a series of nationwide Reproductive Health Surveys (RHS) were conducted in Georgia in 1999, 2005 and 2010. The Reproductive Health Surveys (RHS) were developed by the U.S. Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), in response to the needs of collecting detailed reproductive, maternal and child health indicators in international settings. They draw upon the CDC expertise with development of family planning, maternal and child health, and women’s health survey methodologies in the U.S. combined with its international experience. In many counties, including Georgia, these surveys provided the main source of population-based data for reproductive health policies and planning. The demographic and reproductive health indicators provided by the surveys are used to examine health trends, set targets for improvement, allocate resources, monitor performance, measure program achievements, prioritize activities, guide research, and allow global comparisons in reproductive health.
This report is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) agreement with the Division of Reproductive Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and USAID Contract No. HRN-C-00-97-0019-00.
