Overview
Abstract
The places we live affect our health status and the choices and opportunities we have (or do not have) to lead fulfilling lives. Over the past ten years, the African Population & Health Research Centre (APHRC) has led pioneering work in highlighting some of the major health and livelihood challenges associated with rapid urbanization in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In 2002, the Centre established the first longitudinal platform in urban Africa in the city of Nairobi in Kenya. The platform known as the Nairobi Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System collects data on two informal settlements - Korogocho and Viwandani - in Nairobi City every four months on issues ranging from household dynamics to fertility and mortality, migration and livelihood as well as on causes of death, using a verbal autopsy technique. The dataset provided here contains key demographic and health indicators extracted from the longitudinal database. Researchers interested in accessing the micro-data can look at our data access policy and contact us.Kind of Data

Geographic Coverage
Demographic Surveillance Area (Nairobi City)Universe
As at 31st December,2010 the Nairobi HDSS covered 67,000 persons living in 28,000 households distributed across two informal settlements(Korogocho and Viwandani). All persons who sleep in the household prior to the day of the survey are included in the survey, while non-resident household members are excluded from the survey.The present universe started out through an initial census carried out on 1st August, 2002 of the population living in the two Informal settlements (Korogocho and Viwandani). Regular visits have since then been made (3 times a year) to update information on births, deaths and migration that have occurred in the households observed at the initial census. New members join the population through a birth to a registered member, or an in-migration, while existing members leave through a death or out-migration. The DSS adopts the concept of an open cohort that allows new members to join and regular members to leave and return to the system.
