Today marks the first day of the 2019 Population Association of America (PAA) Annual Meeting, and we’re excited to be back! The PAA Annual Meeting attracts demographers and other public health professionals from across the world to present their research, hear of others’ findings, and network with peers.

DHS Program staff will be available at booth #1 in the exhibition hall to answer your questions about DHS data, to provide tours of our web and mobile tools, and to distribute free DHS Program publications. So don’t be shy and stop by the exhibit hall to say hello!
