Overview
Abstract
The BFHS is conducted to provide information on family planning awareness, approval and use, basic indicators of maternal and child health, and other topics related to family health. In addition, the BFHS IV 2007 complements the data collected in the 2006 Botswana Demographic Survey, by obtaining information needed to explore trends in fertility and mortality, and to examine the factors that influence these basic demographic indicators.

Note: The Botswana Family Health Survey and the Multiple Indicator Survey were undertaken as a combined survey in 2007.
