They were ordered to \u201cstop all work, terminate subcontracts and place no further orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration is dismantling U.S.A.I.D.; thousands of layoffs are expected in the coming days. Without future surveys, it will be nearly impossible to measure the impact of the those foreign aid cuts on citizens in nations without substantial health infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some global health experts reacted to the program\u2019s demise with dismay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s really challenging for me to understand how you could implement thoughtful programs in public health and monitor progress toward strategic goals if you don\u2019t have the kind of data that are available from the D.H.S.,\u201d Win Brown, a demographer at the University of Washington, said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou can\u2019t keep track of what\u2019s going on, you can\u2019t form strategies, you can\u2019t make adjustments based on how your data are changing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was unclear what might happen to the research that has been collected over past decades, or to the ongoing survey projects in 25 countries. \u201cWe need to figure out a way to salvage that data, and I think that\u2019s feasible,\u201d Livia Montana, the program\u2019s technical director, said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The surveys have been conducted since 1984. The funding totaled about $500 million over five years, about half of which came from U.S.A.I.D. and half from other donors, including the nations themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some countries, like India, had almost entirely taken over the financing of their own surveys. The research is widely seen as indispensable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe impact of these disruptions will reverberate across local, regional, national and global levels,\u201d a group of dozens of experts <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5134325\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">warned<\/a> on Feb. 13.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some United Nations organizations assess child and adolescent health or census data in some countries, while others measure household income or agricultural output.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the Demographic and Health Surveys, collected every five years, recorded all critical aspects of household health, including mortality data, height and weight and nutrition status of children and adults, education and literacy, as well as access to clean water and mobile phones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMalnutrition indicators are among the most important,\u201d because they can reflect a range of societal factors, Dr. Montana said. The surveys also separately evaluated malaria indicators and health facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Estimates of maternal and child mortality are crucially important in countries that do not have good death registration systems. The surveys also measured family size, which can indicate the availability of family planning but also reflect broader societal factors, including access to education for girls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Brown has used the surveys, for example, to compare contraceptive use among women in countries like Egypt, Pakistan and India over decades. \u201cIn a survey like D.H.S., you\u2019re on the ground talking to real people, on the stoop of their real houses in real communities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Like other projects funded with foreign aid, the program was under a stop-work order before the termination. All but 11 of its staff of 80 were placed on leave without pay, and its relationships with contractors ended a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Informed of the halt, some national governments expressed concern and empathy, and several asked if they could pay to finish the work. Others took it in stride, Dr. Montana said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s sort of like they have experienced more of this kind of thing where political winds change right away,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
