Provincial offices of the
National Statistics Office in Region 10 joined the weeklong 2nd
level training for the 2011 Family Health Survey at the Chali Beach Resort in
Cagayan de Oro on July 24 to 30, 2011. The Provinces of Bukidnon, Camiguin,
Lanao Norte, Misamis Occidental and Misamis Oriental hired only women for the
field work of FHS.
The 2011 Family Health Survey
(FHS) is a nationwide survey designed to provide information on maternal and
child health, family planning and other health-related concerns in order to
assist policymakers and program managers in
evaluating and designing strategies for improving health and family planning
services in the country. The 2011 FHS will update findings from the series of
Family Planning Surveys conducted from 1995 to 2006, and various rounds of the
National Demographic and Health Survey.
The FHS is a stand-alone survey
and will involve interviewing all women who are 15 to 49 years of age in the
sample households. These women will be asked questions about some of their
background characteristics, the children they have given birth to, use of
family planning methods, the health of their children, their reproductive
health and other information which will be helpful to policy makers and
administrators in the field of health and family planning.
Authority for the 2011 FHS, Section
2 of Commonwealth Act No. 591, approved on August 19, 1940, authorized the
Bureau of the Census and Statistics (now NSO) to collect by enumeration,
sampling or other methods, statistics and other information concerning
population and to conduct, for statistical purposes, investigations and studies
of social and economic conditions in the country, among others.
With this regard NSO 10 Regional
Director Dr. Salvador A. Aves wholeheartedly request all respondent households
in Region 10 for cooperation and support for the enumerators of 2011 Family
Health Survey. Enumeration period is from August 1 to 26, 2011.
