Hello!

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I was wondering if it was known (or approximately) when the India DHS 2014-2015 will be made available to the public?

Thanks again!

I had a quick additional question as well:

Could you let us know what is the current status of the 2014-15 DHS in India - i.e. is the data collection ongoing, x% complete, all complete and the project is in the data cleaning/entry stage?

Looking forward to an update. Many many thanks for your outstanding work, ICF!

Following is a response from the India NFHS-4 country manager, Blake Zachary:

Fieldwork is under way in India for Phase 1 of NFHS-4. We expect that state level factsheets with key indicators for Phase 1 states will be available by the fall of this year. By that time, Phase 2 should be in the field. The dataset will only be publicly available once the national report is released following the completion of fieldwork and lab testing for both Phases.
