|September 27, 2002
Summary
The 1997 Vietnam Demographic and Health Survey (VN-DHS II) offers initial insights into national fertility, contraception, abortion, and infant mortality trends. Key findings highlight demographic shifts and health indicators in Vietnam.
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Public Health
- Reproductive Health
Background:
- The 1997 Vietnam Demographic and Health Survey (VN-DHS II) was a comprehensive nationwide study.
- Previous surveys established baseline demographic and health data for Vietnam.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide an overview of initial findings from the 1997 VN-DHS II.
- To highlight key demographic and health indicators, including fertility, contraception, abortion, and infant mortality.
Main Methods:
- Nation-wide survey conducted in 1997.
- Data collection focused on demographic trends and health outcomes.
Main Results:
- Initial findings from the survey are presented.
- Highlights cover fertility rates, contraceptive use, abortion incidence, and infant mortality statistics.
Conclusions:
- The survey provides crucial data on reproductive health and child survival in Vietnam.
- These findings inform public health policies and interventions.

Population Growth
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.However, realistic environmental conditions limit the number of...
Conservation of Declining Populations
Conservation of declining population focuses on ways of detecting, diagnosing, and halting a population decline. The approach uses methods to prevent populations from going extinct.
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

Primary Healthcare Services
Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter
The accurate values of population parameters such as population proportion, population mean, and population standard deviation (or variance) are usually unknown. These are fixed values that can only be estimated from the data collected from the samples. The estimates of each of these parameters are sample proportion, the sample mean, and sample standard deviation (or variance). To obtain the values of these sample statistics, data are required that have particular distribution and central...
Applications of Life Tables
Life tables are versatile across various fields, providing a quantitative basis for analyzing mortality and survival rates. Whether used by demographers, actuaries, epidemiologists, or sociologists, life tables offer valuable insights into the dynamics of life and death, facilitating informed decisions in public health, insurance, conservation, and beyond. Their broad applicability highlights the interconnectedness of demographic data with practical outcomes in everyday life and strategic...
