2 Cambodia: Atlas of Health Indicators

I. Introduction The 2000 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) in Cambodia collected social, behavioral, and health data on Cambodian households and women aged 15-49. The household questionnaire was administered to approximately 12,200 households, and collected information on housing conditions, socio-economic status, prevalence of illness and impairment, and household members utilization of health services and amount of health expenditures. The women s questionnaire collected information from approximately 15,300 women on their employment and educational background, their spouse s background, and data related to fertility and reproduction; pregnancy and associated care; knowledge of HIV/AIDS; and child feeding practices, health, and mortality. Anthropometry data were also collected from women and children in a subsample of 50% of households, and anemia tests were conducted in 25% of households. This atlas presents maps of a selection of indicators from the 2000 Cambodia DHS survey, including household characteristics (household water source, availability of toilet facilities; household assets); background characteristics of women (education, literacy, employment, and media exposure); pregnancy and delivery care; and indicators of child health, including early childhood mortality and vaccination rates. Geographic Information For sampling and mapping purposes, Cambodia has been divided into 17 regions, including 12 individual provinces (Banteay Mean Chey; Kampong Chaam; Kampong Chhnang; Kampong Speu; ; Kandaal; ; Phnom Penh; Prey Veaeng; Pousaat; Svaay Rieng; Taakaev), and 5 groups of 2-3 provinces each (Baat Dambang and Pailin in western Cambodia; Kampot, Kaeb, and Preah Sihanouk in southwestern Cambodia; Kracheh, Preah Vihear, and Stung Traeng in northern Cambodia; Mondol Kiri and Rotanak Kiri in eastern Cambodia, and Siem Reab and Otdar Mean Chey in northwestern Cambodia.) (See figure I-1.) Additional tabulations or figures showing indicators by region for urban and rural populations are also included for selected indicators. For reference purposes, figure I-2 shows the distribution of urban population in Cambodia s regions. The Phnom Penh region is the most highly urbanized, followed by Kampot/ Kaeb/ Preah Sihanouk in southern Cambodia. South-central Cambodia is less urbanized. Figures Figure I-1.

II. Characteristics of Households The DHS household questionnaire collected information on housing conditions and presence of specific durable goods in the household. Maps illustrating selected indicators, including water source, toilet availability, electrification, and durable goods, are presented below. Water Source and Toilet Availability The Cambodia DHS questionnaire collected information on household water source during both the rainy and the dry seasons. Figures II-1 and 2 illustrate the geographic distribution of the use of water from unprotected sources, specifically open wells, rivers, streams, and other surface sources, in households. Generally, regions in west-central Cambodia are more likely to use unprotected water than regions in eastern Cambodia. Seasonally, there is a slight decrease in use of unprotected water during the rainy season. This can be attributed to households increased use of rainwater. However, the safety of rainwater as a water source depends on how it is stored, and these estimates of water quality are certainly inexact. There were striking urban-rural differences in use of unprotected water, with rural areas in most provinces using more unprotected water than urban areas. Figure II-3 illustrates this discrepancy in the dry season, but similar urban-rural differences exist in water source during the rainy season (data not shown.) Figure II-4 shows the geographic distribution of households who have neither no access to a toilet facility, whether in-unit or shared with other households. Phnom Penh is the only region where less than 15% of households lack access to a toilet facility; in most of central Cambodia, the percentage is higher than 80%. In most regions, urban residents are more likely to have access to toilet facilities than rural residents (see figure II-5). Household Electricity and Durable Goods Household electricity varies greatly by region: while 93% of Phnom Penh households have access to electricity, only 3% of households are electrified in Prey Venang, a province in South-Central Cambodia. Urban-rural differences are stark, particularly outside Phnom Penh: only 9% of rural households nationwide have electricity, compared with 61% of urban households. Figure II-7 disaggregates urban-rural electricity differences by region. Figure II-8 presents four maps of households possessing selected durable goods: a bicycle, a car or truck, a television, or a phone. Televisions are the most common of these four durable goods, while phones and cars are less common. These assets are far more common in the capital, Phnom Penh, than they are in other areas. For example, 85% of households in Phnom Penh possess television sets; the next highest rate is in Kandal, where 46% of households own televisions. Similarly, 15% of Phnom Penh households own cars, compared to 4% in the region with the second-highest rate (Bat Dambang/ Parilin), and 31% have telephones, compared with 3% in Kampot/ Kaeb/ Preah Sihanouk.

III. Characteristics of Women The DHS women s questionnaire collected background information on women, including their educational attainment, employment, and exposure to media. Four of these indicators have been mapped to provide insight into regional differences in women s background characteristics. Education and Literacy Figure III-1 and table III-1 describe educational attainment by region and urban-rural residency. The easternmost region of Cambodia, which includes the provinces of Mondol Kiri and Rotanak Kiri, has the highest percentage of women with no formal education, and 86% of rural women in this region have no formal education. Phnom Penh has the lowest percentage of women with no education (5% urban; 11% rural) and the highest percentage of women with secondary or higher education (57% urban; 37% rural). Women with no education or primary education only were also asked questions gauging their literacy level. The distribution of education and literacy levels are quite similar, with the percent of women who are illiterate highest in Mondol Kiri/Rotanak Kiri and lowest in Phnom Penh. Exposure to Mass Media Women were asked about their exposure to three types of media: television, radio, and newspaper. Television was the most common type of media overall, with 56% of women nationwide reporting that they watched television at least once per week on average. Watching television was particularly common in Phnom Penh, where 89% of women watched television at least once per week on average. The exposure to television was lowest in the easternmost region of Mondol Kiri/Rotanak Kiri, where 16% of women reported watching television once per week. Nationally, radio was somewhat less common than television (46% of women listen once per week), and reading the newspaper was least common (12% of women read a newspaper once per week). Overall, women in Phnom Penh were most likely to be exposed to all three types of media (35%), while women in Banteay Mean Chay and Pousat were least likely to be exposed to all three types of media (2.7 and 2.9%, respectively). Employment The majority of women in most regions are employed in full-time or seasonal occupations, and employment rates are higher among women in rural areas. (See figure III-4 and table III-3.) In Phnom Penh, most employed women work in year-round occupations, while in other areas of the country the majority of women work seasonally or occasionally.

IV. Family Planning, Maternal and Child Health, and Early Childhood Mortality The DHS women s questionnaire also collected information on a range of health topics, including family planning and contraception, antenatal and delivery care, and care for childhood diseases and vaccinations. A limited selection of indicators is discussed below: current use of contraception, antenatal care and place of delivery, and childhood vaccinations. Contraception Figure IV-1 illustrates regional differences in current use of modern contraception methods among married women. Use of modern contraception is highest in Bat Dambang/ Pailin (29.0%), Banteay Mean Chay (28.9%), and Phnom Penh (27.4%), and is lowest in Mondol Kiri/ Rotanak Kiri (9.2%). Antenatal and Delivery Care Figure IV-2 illustrates the percent distribution of mothers by the type of antenatal care received for their last pregnancy. Nationally, around two-fifths (38%) of women received antenatal care from a traditional or medical provider. In some regions, over three-quarters of women received no antenatal care: Mondol Kiri/Rotanak Kiri had the highest percentage of women who received no antenatal care, at 80.5%, followed by Prey Vaeng at 79.4%. Phnom Penh was the only region in which the majority of women (84%) received antenatal care from a medical provider, such as a doctor, nurse, or midwife. The pattern of delivery care is similar to that of antenatal care. The highest percentage of women living in Phnom Penh delivered at a medical facility (70.7%), while the lowest percentage delivered at a medical facility in Prey Vaeng (2.4%) and Otdar Mean Chay/Siem Raeb (1.9%). Infant and Child Mortality Figure IV-4 maps infant and child mortality in Cambodia. Both infant (1q0) and child (4q1) mortality are particularly high in the easternmost region of Cambodia, and both are relatively low in Phnom Penh and the southwest regions of and Kampong Spueu. Infant mortality is also low in the north-central regions of Kraceh/Pireah Vihear/Stung Traeng and Kampung Thum. Table IV-2 presents a variety of statistics on early childhood mortality by region. Childhood Vaccinations Figure IV-5 shows regional rates of two types of vaccinations: measles and BCG (antituberculosis). Nationally, 77.3% of children aged 12-23 months received a BCG vaccination, and 55.4% of children received a measles vaccination. For both, vaccination rates are lowest in Kaoh Kong (BCG: 38.83%; measles: 26.60%), and higher in Taakev (BCG: 96.2%; measles: 74.1%) and Kandal (BCG: 91.4%; 62.2%).
