本文概述了作为数据源的多指标类集调查 (MICS)。多指标类集调查（MICS）是最大的针对儿童和妇女的家庭调查项目之一，已覆盖 116 个国家，其中许多国家经过多轮调查产生了趋势数据。收集了儿童、青少年、妇女以及近年来男性的一系列指标的数据。主题包括生育率、死亡率、避孕药具的使用、未满足的需求、孕产妇和新生儿健康、女性生殖器切割、月经卫生管理、儿童疾病和治疗、儿童发育和营养等。这些调查是横断面的，并使用多阶段概率设计来开发国家和国家以下各级的家庭代表性样本。调查访谈的对象是： 提供家庭状况数据的家庭受访者； 15-49岁的女性和男性提供自己的现状和回顾性数据；以及提供 18 岁以下儿童数据的母亲（或照顾者）。数据大部分可以跨国家和时间进行比较，提供跨研究领域的丰富指标，并且是开放获取的。数据可以在 MICS 网站上访问，用户可以出于研究目的访问 MICS 数据集。
This article provides an overview of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) as a data source. MICS-one of the largest household survey programs focused on children and women-has covered 116 countries, many over several rounds of surveys producing trend data. Data are collected on a range of indicators for children, adolescents, women, and in recent years, men. Topics include fertility, mortality, contraceptive use, unmet need, maternal and newborn health, female genital mutilation, menstrual hygiene management, child illness and treatment, and child development and nutrition, among others. The surveys are cross-sectional and use multistage probability designs to develop representative samples of households at the national and subnational levels. Survey interviews are conducted with: a household respondent who provides data on the household status; women and men aged 15-49 who provide current status and retrospective data on themselves; and mothers (or caregivers) who provide data on children under age 18. Data can be compared across countries and time for the most part, provide a wealth of indicators across research fields, and are open access. Data can be accessed on the MICS website where users are granted access to the MICS datasets for research purposes.
