Accra, Ghana, 1st July 2017 – The International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Population and Their Health (INDEPTH) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) announces IMPORTANT UPDATES to the Core Micro Datasets and Documentation on the INDEPTH Data Repository (www.indepth-ishare.org) and on its associated data visualization website, INDEPTHStats (www.indepth-ishare.org/indepthstats). These are two unique online data archives that continue to build and strengthen capacity for research data management, health and scientific research in LMICs as well as improving access to fully documented high quality longitudinal datasets by the scientific community and health policy makers worldwide. Moreover, these datasets also represent a valuable teaching resource.
At the completion of this year’s updates, the INDEPTH Data Repository, launched in 2013, would hold data on over 1.9 million individuals and more than 31 million person-years of observation representing the first harmonised database of longitudinal population-based data from LMICs (for a total of 85 published datasets since inception).
The INDEPTH Resource and Training Centre has shared the newly designed INDEPTH Strategic Plan 2017-2021. Please see it at this link: INDEPTH Strategic Plan 2017 - 2021.

The INDEPTH Data Repository is an online archive of fully documented high-quality longitudinal datasets from INDEPTH member Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) centres. It is the first repository that specializes in longitudinal population-based data from LMICs.
The repository was established on 1st July, 2013 with 6 datasets from HDSS field sites. Today we have datasets from the following member 30 HDSS field sites in Africa and Asia (covering 15 countries):

INDEPTHStats is the corresponding data visualisation website that contains summary statistics, images and graphs of key health and demographic indicators generated from the respective INDEPTH member HDSS field sites. INDEPTHStats provides researchers, government officials and policymakers with information that can guide their decision-making, including crude birth and death rates, age specific fertility and death rates, infant, child, and under five mortality rates, as well as numerous other health and demographic indicators.

Launched on 1st July, 2013, INDEPTHStats had initial data from 18 HDSS field sites. Today, INDEPTHStats has data from the following 34 HDSS field sites from Africa and Asia (covering 15 countries):

INDEPTHStats App
In addition to these data, INDEPTH launched the INDEPTHStats app on 1st July 2014. The INDEPTHStats App is a data visualisation app which allows users to explore on tablets or mobile phones, basic demographic indicators generated by INDEPTH member HDSSs centres. The indicators are visualized by interactive, animated charts and tables. The INDEPTHStats App has been further developed and made available as a free App on Google store Android phones and tablets as well as made available for iphone and ipad users. This means that the visualisation website can be viewed on tablets and smart phones as well.
