The Lao Reproductive Health Survey 2005 (LRHS 2005) is the third reproductive health survey, previously conducted around 1994 (LRHS1) and 2000 (LRHS2). It was undertaken by Lao Statistics Bureau (LSB), Lao P.D.R., and is the result of collaborative efforts between the LSB and the Mother and Child Health Center (MCHC) of the Ministry of Health (MoH). The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) funded the survey, and provided capacity building and technical support on data processing and analysis, and assistance to prepare the report through the Demographic Institute of the University of Indonesia and external consultants.

Coverage and sample design: The LRHS 2005 is a nationally representative sample survery, with 21 600 household chosen as respondents, from which eligible women aged 15 to 49 years and men aged 15 to 59 years, regardless of their marital status, were selected for detailed interview.
A two-stage stratified cluster sample covering 16 provinces, the capital and special zone was applied in survey. The 2005 census household list was used as the sampling frame.
The first stage of sample selection was to select 40 sample villages, using SPPS method.
The second stage was to select households in the villages selected in the first stage. Within each selected villages, a fixed number of 30 households were selected using systematic random sampling. Thus, each province had about 1 200 households for the 2005 survey.
The sampling covered Urban and Rural areas.
Face-to-face [f2f]
The survey questionnaires used in the LRHS 2005 are almost identical to the LRHS 2000. The earlier survey questionnaires were adapted from the 1994 Lao Fertility and Spacing Survey and the 1997 Mongolia Reproductive Health Survey. In many ways, the questionnaires resemble the International Standard of the Demographic and Health
Surveys (DHS). The questionnaires have been adjusted for the local situation.
As with the earlier survey, the LRHS 2005 questionnaires consist of three different parts, which are the: Household Questionnaire, Women’s Questionnaire and Men’s
Questionnaire.
Data were processed as folllows:
Questionnaire reception, Office editing and coding, Data entry using Scaner, Verification entry, Export to data base, Back up and edited data back up.
Response rate for households, women and men are relatively high and close to 100 percent.
Refer to Sampling design (Social Statistics Division, DoS).
The Statistics Law of Lao PDR guarantees that identities of respondents are kept confidential.
Before being granted access to the dataset, all users have to formally agree:
1. To make no copies of any files or portions of files to which s/he is granted access except those authorized by the data depositor.

3. To hold in strictest confidence the identification of any establishment or individual that may be inadvertently revealed in any documents or discussion, or analysis. Such inadvertent identification revealed in her/his analysis will be immediately brought to the attention of the data depositor.
