INTRODUCTION
The 2005-06 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-3) is the third in the NFHS series of
surveys. The first NFHS was conducted in 1992-93, and the second (NFHS-2) was conducted in
1998-99. All three NFHS surveys were conducted under the stewardship of the Ministry of
Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW), Government of India. MOHFW designated the
International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), Mumbai, as the nodal agency for the
surveys. Funding for NFHS-3 was provided by the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID), the United Kingdom Department for International Development
(DFID), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, UNICEF, UNFPA, and the Government of
India. Technical assistance for NFHS-3 was provided by Macro International, Maryland, USA.
Assistance for the HIV component of the survey was provided by the National AIDS Control
Organization (NACO) and the National AIDS Research Institute (NARI), Pune.
The survey provides trend data on key indicators and includes information on several new
topics, such as HIV/AIDS-related behaviour, attitudes toward family life education for girls
and boys, use of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) programme, men’s
involvement in maternal care, and health insurance. For the first time, NFHS-3 provides
information on men and unmarried women. In addition, NFHS-3 provides estimates of HIV
prevalence for India as a whole, based on blood samples collected in every state. Separate HIV
estimates are also provided for Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Manipur, Tamil
Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh.
In Andhra Pradesh, NFHS-3 interviewed 7,128 women age 15-49 and 7,128 men age 15-54 to
obtain information on population, health, and nutrition in the state. The survey is based on a
sample of 6,668 households that is representative at the state level, within the state at the urban
and rural levels, and for the city of Hyderabad and its slum and non-slum populations. The
household response rate in the state as a whole was 98 percent and the individual response
rates were 94 percent for eligible women and 89 percent for eligible men.
In Andhra Pradesh, height and weight measurements were taken for all children under age six
years and all interviewed women and men in all the sample households. Haemoglobin levels
were measured for all interviewed women and men and for all children age 6-59 months. In
addition, all interviewed women and men in all sample households were eligible to have their
blood collected for HIV testing. All biomarkers were measured only after obtaining informed
consent. The NFHS-3 fieldwork in Andhra Pradesh was conducted by the Administrative Staff
College of India (ASCI), Hyderabad, between December 2005 and April 2006.
This report presents the key findings of the NFHS-3 survey in Andhra Pradesh, followed by
detailed tables and appendices on sampling errors and HIV response rates. More information
about the definitions of indicators included in this report is contained in Volume I of the
NFHS-3 National Report, and the questionnaires, details of the sampling procedure, and HIV
response rates for NFHS-3 are contained in Volume II of the NFHS-3 National Report
(available at www.nfhsindia.org).
