The Turkey Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) 2008 has been conducted by the Haccettepe University Institute of Population Studies in collaboration with the Ministry of health General Directorate of Mother and Child Health and Family Planning and Undersecretary of State Planning Organization. The Turkey Demographic and Health Survey 2008 has been financed the scientific and Technological research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) under the support program for Research Projects of Public Institutions.

The primary objective of the Turkey DHS 2008 is to provide data on fertility, contraceptive methods, maternal and child health. Detailed information on these issues is obtained through questionnaires, filled by face-to face interviews with ever-married women in reproductive ages (15-49).

Another important objective of the survey, with aims to contribute to the knowledge on population and health as well, is to maintain the flow of information for the related organizations in Turkey on the Turkish demographic structure and change in the absence of reliable vital registration system and ascertain the continuity of data on demographic and health necessary for sustainable development in the absence of a reliable vital registration system.
In terms of survey methodology and content, the Turkey DHS 2008 is comparable with the previous demographic surveys in Turkey (MEASURE DHS+).

Two main types of questionnaires were used to collect the TDHS-2008 data:
a) The Household Questionnaire;
b) The Individual Questionnaire for Ever-Married Women of Reproductive Ages.

The contents of these questionnaires were based on the DHS Model "A" Questionnaire, which was designed for the DHS program for use in countries with high contraceptive prevalence. Additions, deletions and modifications were made to the DHS model questionnaire in order to collect information particularly relevant to Turkey. Attention also was paid to ensuring the comparability of the DHS-2008 findings with previous demographic surveys carried out by the Hacettepe Institute of Population Studies. In the process of designing the TDHS-2003 questionnaires, national and international population and health agencies were consulted for their comments.

a) The Household Questionnaire was used to enumerate all usual members of and visitors to the selected households and to collect information relating to the socioeconomic position of the households. In the first part of the Household Questionnaire, basic information was collected on the age, sex, educational attainment, recent migration and residential mobility, employment, marital status, and relationship to the head of household of each person listed as a household member or visitor. The objective of the first part of the Household Questionnaire was to obtain the information needed to identify women who were eligible for the individual interview as well as to provide basic demographic data for Turkish households. The second part of the Household Questionnaire included questions on never married women age 15-49, with the objective of collecting information on basic background characteristics of women in this age group. The third section was used to collect information on the welfare of the elderly people. The final section of the Household Questionnaire was used to collect information on housing characteristics, such as the number of rooms, the flooring material, the source of water, and the type of toilet facilities, and on the household's ownership of a variety of consumer goods. This section also incorporated a module that was only administered in Istanbul metropolitan households, on house ownership, use of municipal facilities and the like, as well as a module that was used to collect information, from one-half of households, on salt iodization. In households where salt was present, test kits were used to test whether the salt used in the household was fortified with potassium iodine or potassium iodate, i.e. whether salt was iodized.

b) The Individual Questionnaire for ever-married women obtained information on the following subjects:
- Background characteristics
- Reproduction
- Marriage
- Knowledge and use of family planning
- Maternal care and breastfeeding
- Immunization and health
- Fertility preferences
- Husband's background
- Women's work and status
- Sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS
- Maternal and child anthropometry.

摘要
---------------------------
土耳其人口与健康调查（DHS）2008年由哈切特佩大学人口研究所与卫生部母胎儿童健康和家庭计划总局以及国家计划组织副秘书长合作进行。土耳其2008年人口与健康调查得到土耳其科学技术研究委员会（TÜBİTAK）的资助，该资助属于公共机构研究项目支持计划。

土耳其DHS 2008的主要目标是提供关于生育、避孕方法、母婴健康的资料。通过面对面访谈的方式，对已婚育龄妇女（15-49岁）进行问卷调查，从而获得这些问题的详细信息。

调查的另一个重要目标是，旨在丰富对人口与健康知识的理解，同时保持土耳其相关组织关于土耳其人口结构及其变化的信息流动，在没有可靠的生命登记系统的情况下，确保对可持续发展的必要的人口与健康数据的连续性。

在调查方法和内容方面，土耳其DHS 2008与土耳其以往的人口调查（MEASURE DHS+）相类似。

研究工具
---------------------------
收集TDHS-2008数据使用了两种主要类型的问卷：
a) 家庭问卷；
b) 已婚育龄妇女个人问卷。
这些问卷的内容基于DHS模型“A”问卷，该问卷是为DHS项目设计的，用于高避孕普及率的国家。对DHS模型问卷进行了增删改，以便收集与土耳其特别相关的信息。同时，还注意确保DHS-2008的调查结果与哈切特佩人口研究所以前进行的人口调查相一致。在设计TDHS-2003问卷的过程中，咨询了国内外人口与健康机构，以获取他们的意见。
a) 家庭问卷用于统计所选家庭的全部常住成员和访客，并收集有关家庭社会经济地位的信息。家庭问卷的第一部分收集了每个人的基本信息，包括年龄、性别、教育程度、最近移民和居住流动性、就业、婚姻状况以及与户主的关系。家庭问卷第一部分的目标是获取识别符合个人访谈资格妇女所需的信息，并为土耳其家庭提供基本的统计数据。家庭问卷的第二部分包括关于15-49岁未婚妇女的问题，目的是收集这一年龄组妇女的基本背景特征信息。第三部分用于收集关于老年人的福利信息。家庭问卷的最后部分用于收集有关住房特征的信息，如房间数量、地板材料、水源和卫生设施类型，以及家庭拥有的各种消费品。本节还包含一个仅在伊斯坦布尔大都市家庭中实施的模块，关于房屋所有权、市政设施的使用等，以及一个用于收集一半家庭关于食盐碘化的信息的模块。在存在食盐的家庭中，使用测试套件检测家庭使用的食盐是否添加了碘化钾或碘酸钾，即食盐是否被碘化。
b) 已婚育龄妇女个人问卷获取以下主题的信息：
- 背景特征
- 再生产
- 婚姻
- 家庭计划的知识和使用
