Additional Information

The Indonesian Fertility Survey (also known as SUPAS III) was based on a subsample of a larger household survey (SUPAS II), which is also described in this catalogue. A fresh enumeration of household members was conducted as part of the fertility survey. The survey was confined to the islands of Java and Bali (= 67 per cent of total population).

The survey incorporated contraceptive availability items from the WFS family planning module: knowledge of specified sources; sources visited in last twelve months; last source visited; distance, travel time, mode/cost of transport, waiting time, amount of payment, intention to revisit and reason why not. A range of additional country-specific data on family planning dissemination was also included: specified mass media sources of information and whether each was found useful; discussions with specified categories of worker and whether discussion was found useful; nature of most useful public meeting; the topic of greatest perceived interest.

A small re-interview survey was conducted and the results are contained in reference 4 below. The DDB does not hold the file for the re-interview survey.
