The results of the Second Reproductive Health Survey are comparable with the data from the first survey conducted in 1998, as the information on fertility, infant mortality, family planning and mother and child health as well as knowledge and attitude towards STI\/HIV\/AIDS and abortion have been enriched by the results of this Survey. The survey has been undertaken based on experiences and lessons learnt from the first survey and with broad participation of health sector specialists, who are clients and main users a valuable contribution has been made to fostering closer collaboration between institutions and building national capacity.

Therefore, this time 30 households were selected for a cluster (The best cluster \"take\" depends upon the intra-cluster versus inter-cluster heterogeneity of the principal variables being measured; this can only be determined after carrying out a survey).  For the survey it was planned to select 8,400 households, which is a 1.47 percent sample of all households in the country.  This implied the selection of 280 clusters of households.  Baghs and horoos were the primary sampling units (PSUs). All 1,674 PSUs were stratified implicitly by aimag and soum, and the selection of the 280 sample PSUs (or clusters) was done systematically with a random start, with probability proportional to the number of registered households.  Households were then selected systematically with a random start within each PSU, using an interval directly proportional to the number of households in the PSU. The selected households were interviewed using the household  schedule.  All women between the ages of 15 and 49, inclusive, who slept in the household's dwelling the night prior to interview, were eligible to be interviewed using the women's interview schedule.  Three husbands out of five married women interviewed in each PSU were interviewed using the husband's interview schedule.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"There were three questionnaires used in the RHS.

Results are presented for the whole country, for urban and rural areas separately, for each of four education groups, for each of five regions, and for each of three age groups.  For each variable, the type of statistic (percentage, mean or rate) and the base population are given in Table B.01.  For each variable, Tables B.02 - B.16 present the value of the statistic (R), its standard error (SE), the number of cases (N) where relevant, the design effect (DEFT) where applicable, the relative standard error (SE\/R), and the 95 percent confidence limits (R-2SE, R+2SE).\nThe confidence limits have the following interpretation.  For the percentage of currently married women using the contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD), the overall value for the full sample is 32.8%, and its standard error is 0.7%.  Therefore, to obtain the 95 percent confidence limits, one adds and subtracts twice the standard error to the sample estimate, which means that there is a high probability (95 percent) the true percentage currently using the IUD is between 31.3% and 34.2%.  \nThe relative standard errors for most estimates for the country as a whole are small, except for estimates of very small percentages.  The magnitude of the error increases as estimates for sub-populations such as geographical areas are considered.  For the variable IUD, for instance, the relative standard error (as a percentage of the estimated parameter) for the whole country and for urban and rural areas is 2.2 percent, 3.2 percent, and 3.0 percent, respectively.  For the five regions, the relative standard error of the variable IUD varies between 3.9 percent and 7.4 percent.\nSpecial mention should be made of the sampling errors for rates.  The denominators are exposure-years, and the numerators are either births or deaths in the population under consideration during the indicated period of time.  Estimates of sampling errors are shown for the TFR in the three years prior to the survey, presented in Chapter 3, and for the various 3-year mortality rates presented in Chapter 7.  These estimates are calculated at the national level, and by urban-rural residence, region, and mother's educational level.  (They are irrelevant for age groups)\nIt should be noted that the survey indicates, with a 95 percent level of confidence, that the TFR for the 3-year period prior to the survey lay between 2,4 and 2,6 children per woman, and that the infant mortality rate for the 3-year period prior to the survey lay between 23 and 35 per thousand births.  The differences between the survey results and registration statistics are not due to sampling variability.\nDetails of the sampling errors are presented in the appendix  B to the national report RHS 2003 of the external resources."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"Data is not available for public use.","required":"yes","form_no":"","form_uri":""}],"contact":[{"name":"National Statistical Office of Mongolia","affiliation":"NSO","email":"info@nso.mn","uri":"www.nso.mn"}],"conditions":"The data and\/or metadata may not be transferred to any other user without prior authorization from NSO of Mongolia","disclaimer":"The National Statistical Office of Mongolia  provide these data to external users without any warranty or responsibility implied.
