INDEPTH PopStats

INDEPTH PopStats is a new tool developed by the INDEPTH Network for displaying and disseminating longitudinal health and demographic surveillance system data generated from its member centres in Africa, Asia, and Oceania. It is intended to provide researchers, government officials, policymakers, and the general public with basic health and demographic information that can guide their decision-making.
The available data can be viewed either in tabular or graphical form. Basic indicators displayed by PopStats include:

  • Crude birth and death rates
  • Age-specific fertility and death rates
  • Infant, child, and under-five mortality rates
  • Numerous other health and demographic indicators.

The indices can be displayed either by a single Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) centre or across multiple centres over time and period.
