The DHS Program research team at the 2016 PAA Annual Meeting

We are pleased to announce that The DHS Program and staff will be attending this year’s Population Association of America (PAA) Annual Meeting in Chicago from April 27-29.

PAA is a nonprofit, scientific, professional organization established to promote the improvement, advancement, and progress of the human race through research of problems related to human population.

The DHS Program has been participating in the PAA Annual Meeting over the last few years and we are excited to share our recent surveys and other publications.

If you plan to attend PAA, visit booth #200 for your copy of free survey publications and tours of our new web and mobile tools. Several DHS staff will also be presenting posters, sessions, and will be available to answer any questions you may have about DHS data and results.

View the full DHS staff participation schedule here.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
