Ethiopia Kersa HDSS INDEPTH Core Dataset 2008-2016 (Release 2018)

Demographic Surveillance This dataset contains rounds of 1 to 17 of demographic survillance data covering the period from 1 Sep. 2007 to 31 Dec. 2015. Two rounds of data collection took place every year execpt in 2007 whereby only one round of data collection was done from Sep. to Dec. 2007 (for four mounths).

In each round an update of all individuals in the system was done in addition to the regular checks for events that change the population structure.

ID Number INDEPTH.ET041.CMD2016.v1

Kersa HDSS, Health and Demographic Surveillance, Mortality, Fertility, Migration Kersa Health and Demographic Surveillance System (Kersa HDSS) is located in Kersa district of eastern Hararege, Oromia region, Eastern Ethiopia. It was established in 2007 with the vision of becoming center of excellence in health science research in Ethiopia. It conducts health and demographic surveillance. The major work on the ground are monitoring demographic altering events such as birth, death, and migration; and health related conditions such as pregnancy, immunization, and morbidity. It also conducts verbal autopsy for the deceased to identify causes of death. It is an INDPTH network member site (http://www.indepth-network.org).
