Rezumat	A Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey is a structured, representative survey that measures what a target population knows about a topic, how it feels and believes about it, and what it actually does. Widely used in public health, water-sanitation-hygiene (WASH), family planning, and nutrition programming, KAP surveys provide the baseline and endline evidence for behaviour-change communication, identifying the gaps between knowledge and practice that interventions are meant to close.	The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) are nationally representative household surveys that provide standardised, internationally comparable data on population, health, and nutrition in low- and middle-income countries. Funded primarily by USAID and implemented through The DHS Program, they use model questionnaires, a complex multi-stage sample design, and a standardised wealth index to produce indicators of fertility, child and maternal mortality, family planning, child nutrition, and disease prevalence that drive health policy and programme monitoring worldwide.
