The Newborn Indicators Technical Working Group (TWG) reviewed newborn indicators that are currently collected through national surveys, including the DHS and MICS, and has recommended new indicators on newborn care practices that could be added to national and program household surveys.
In addition, the TWG has recommended additional indicators on newborn care practices that are of interest, but need further testing before they are recommended for inclusion in national household surveys. This document includes all these indicators as well as standardized questions to capture the new recommended indicators and those that require testing.
