 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) (1988)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In the 1988 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS), 8,911 ever-married women between the ages of 15 and 49 were interviewed, in urban and rural areas of 21 of the 26 governorates of Egypt.
The Frontier Governorates (Red Sea, New Valley, Matrouh, North Sinai, and South Sinai), which represent around two percent of the total population in Egypt, were excluded from coverage because a disproportionate share of EDHS resources would have been needed to survey the dispersed population in these governorates.
By governorate, the household response rate ranged from 98 percent in Suez to 100 percent in Kafr El-Sheikh, Gharbia, Ismailia, Fayoum and Aswan while individual response rate varied from 94 percent in Aswan to 100 percent in Ismailia.
