The 2003 NDHS used four questionnaires: Household Questionnaire, Health Module, Women's Questionnaire, and Men's Questionnaire. The content of Women's Questionnaire was based on the MEASURE DHS+ Model "A" Questionnaire, which was developed for use in countries with high level of contraceptive use. To modify the questionnaire to reflect relevant family planning and health issues in the Philippines, program input was solicited from Department of Health (DOH), Commission on Population (POPCOM), the University of the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI), the Food and nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), the Philippine Health insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), USAID, the National Statistics Coordination Board (NSCB), the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), the United Nations Children's Fund, and Dr. Mercedes B. Concepcion, professor emeritus at the Univeristy of the Philippines, as well as managers of USAID-sponsored projects in the Philippines. The questionnaires were stranslated from English into six major dialects: Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilocano, Bicol, Hiligaynon, and Waray.
