What GBrain can do with Demographic and Health Surveys

The DHS Program, run by ICF, has collected more than 450 national household surveys on population, health and nutrition across more than 90 countries. Connected to a workspace, GBrain can answer “how has child mortality changed in Kenya since 2003?” from the program’s published indicators, with the survey cited.

The connection only reads aggregate figures; no individual survey records are exposed.

  • Search survey indicators by topic
  • Pull indicator data by country and year
  • Break results down by sex, age, residence and wealth
  • List surveys, datasets and publications

From the command line

GBrain gives Demographic and Health Surveys a command line too. From a terminal, a script or Claude Code, gbrainio tool help dhs-program lists its commands once it is connected.
