INDEPTH invites you to its 10th AGM in Accra, Ghana

The INDEPTH Secretariat wishes to invite you to our 10th AGM at the Mensvic Hotel, East Legon in Accra, Ghana from 27-30 September 2010. 

Theme

INDEPTH: Lessons for the future direction in demographic and health research in developing countries

We utilise our AGM every year mainly as a scientific forum for members and others to share their research based on health and demographic surveillance systems (HDSSs). The AGM also does administrative business.  

Please contact Dr. Ayaga Bawah for other information on the scientific aspects. For all other arrangements, please contact our AGM Co-ordinator Mrs Felicia Manu Asamoa. More details

To have an idea of how our AGMs are organised, see last year's programme: AGM 2009 Programme of Activities

The INDEPTH Standard for Data Quality

INDEPTH will invest resources to assure high quality data generated at its member sites so that an INDEPTH Stamp for Data Quality will be issued in the longrun. Starting with the MINIMUM DATA SET condition which is now used for site membership, the Secretariat is establishing in consultation with the Scientific Advisory Committee and other stakeholders, a DATA QUALITY INSPECTION TEAM. As a first step, the Secretariat is providing on this website a RESOURCE CENTRE for DATA ASSURANCE. The Resource Centre will contain a pool of resources including:

• Plausibility checks for HDSS data
• A list of common errors
• INDEPTH Starter Kit for the establishment of new HDSS sites
• INDEPTH Resource Kit for old sites
