Haitian Living Conditions Survey-HLCS) produced data on 7,186 households (ECVH). Three questionnaires were used to collect data for the ECVH. The Housing Questionnaire covered housing demographics, migration, education, health, the labor force, the household economy, agriculture, and the environment. Each woman aged 14 and over and each person responsible for a child was given the Woman and Child Questionnaire on reproductive care, pre-and postnatal care, contraception, child support, disease in children, and anthropometry. A third questionnaire given to random members of the population age 15 or older contained questions on migration, working conditions and training, education, health, family planning, family attitudes and social life, satisfaction with the social and political situation and domestic violence.

ORAL HISTORIES
Oral histories are a powerful tool in developing historical understanding
Oral history offers an alternative to conventional history, filling gaps in traditional research with personal accounts of historically significant events or simply life in a specific place and time. Oral histories do more than provide charming details to dry historical accounts. In fact, oral histories help others recapture lived experiences that are not written down in traditional sources.
