Survey Manual
Survey package.zip
This package contains most of the some computer files you may useful when conducting a
survey evaluating 1) the nutritional status of children less than 5 years of age, 2) the
nutritional status of women of reproductive age (15 – 49 years), 3) the recent rate
and causes of mortality, 4) the reproductive health of women of reproductive age, 5) child
and infant breastfeeding practices, 6) micronutrient status of children less than 5 years
of age, and 7) mictronutrient status of women of reproductive age. These materials were
used in carrying out a survey in Badghis Province in March 2002.

Adult: Assessment of Nutritional Status in Emergency-Effected Populations
http://acc.unsystem.org/scn/Publications/RNIS/adultrnissupplement.pdf
Steve Collins, Arabella Duffield & Mark Myatt, ACC/Sub-Committee on Nutrition,
United Nations, July 2000
This article describes simple techniques suitable for the assessment of the nutritional
status of adults aged 20-60 years in emergency-affected populations. The BMI (Body Mass
Index), MUAC (Mid-upper Arm Circumference), and clinical models are assessed for their
usefulness in determining the prevalence of chronic undernutrition in adults at the
population level, and also for screening severely undernourished adults for entrance to
feeding clinics.
Adolescence: Assessment of Nutritional Status in Emergency-Effected
Populations
http://acc.unsystem.org/scn/Publications/RNIS/adolescentrnissup.PDF
Steve Collins, Arabella Duffield ACC/Sub-Committee on Nutrition, United Nations, July
2000
The World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends using the BMI (Body Mass Index)
of individual adolescents compared to a reference population made up of adolescents in the
United States and using the 5th centile of this reference as the cut-off point to define
undernutrition. These recommendations may not be appropriate; surveys using these
recommendations have found unrealistically high levels of adolescent undernutrition.
National Micronutrient Survey
http://www.cpc.unc.edu/measure/techassist/tools_methods/inventory/tool17.html
The instrument is used for collecting information to assess the existing situation
regarding vitamin A deficiency (VAD) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA), as well as general
energy-protein malnutrition (EPM) in children and their mothers or caretakers. The
information collected is used as a basis for country nutritional/micronutrient policy and
program development decision-making.

Nutrition Baseline Software
http://www.nutrisurvey.de/index.html
The program helps in preparing a suitable questionnaire, in entering the data and in
evaluating the results. First of all, a new nutrition survey has to be prepared. You just
have to push the 'Create New Survey' button and a new survey will be created. The features
of the new survey will depend on the settings under 'Options'. In this sheet several other
functions are available such as opening the survey in a database program or exporting the
data to SPSS.
