Local Setup, Global Resource: the Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems in Bangladesh
Discussing the three HDSSs in Bangladesh established and maintained by icddr,b
Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSSs) routinely monitor well-defined populations and record selected health and demographic information. In low- and middle-income countries, HDSS are often the only source of population-level longitudinal and linkable intergenerational data. In these settings they are a key resource for health, demographic, and social science research.
Moin Haider will discuss the three HDSSs in Bangladesh established and maintained by icddr,b. The presentation will include a brief history of the HDSSs, sketch their main attributes, give examples of past and ongoing collaborative studies using the HDSS platforms, and discuss possibilities for future involvement of researchers at various stages of their careers.
