Community data on family planning services collected via knowledgeable informants may be inaccurate. Direct service site visits provide more reliable family planning availability information, though integrating this with surveys like DHS is not currently recommended.

Area of Science:

  • Demography
  • Public Health
  • Reproductive Health

Background:

  • The World Fertility Surveys and Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) collect community-level data on family planning.
  • Assessing the accuracy of this community data is crucial for understanding service accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the experience of major fertility surveys in collecting community-level family planning data.
  • To assess the validity of community data collected via a service availability module in Peru by comparing it with Situation Analysis data.

Main Methods:

  • The study reviewed data collection experiences from the World Fertility Surveys and DHS.
  • Community data from Peru, gathered through a DHS-like service availability module, was compared with Situation Analysis data.

  • The primary data source for the service availability module was knowledgeable informants within each community.

    • Main Results:

    • Knowledgeable informants, the primary source for the service availability module, may not provide accurate family planning data.
    • Direct site visits to service locations yield more reliable information on family planning service availability.
    • Despite potential inaccuracies, routine integration of Situation Analyses with household surveys like DHS is not advised due to cost, sampling, and analysis challenges.

    Conclusions:

    • Relying on knowledgeable informants for community-level family planning service data may compromise accuracy.
    • Direct observation through service site visits is a more dependable method for assessing family planning availability.
    • Current logistical and analytical constraints make routine linkage of detailed service assessments with large-scale household surveys impractical.
