Replication Data for: Using geographical analysis to identify child health inequality in sub-Saharan Africa

This dataset is made available for individuals to replicate the analysis done to identify areas of low coverage or high need in order to inform effective resource allocation to reduce child health inequity between and within countries. Using data from The Demographic and Health Survey Program surveys conducted in 27 selected African countries between 2010 and 2014, we computed estimates for six child health indicators for subnational regions. In addition, data are available from The DHS Program website upon registration and acceptance of research abstract that meets the criteria for access. Spatial boundary data is available publically at the The DHS Program Spatial Data Repository website. To request access to geospatial datasets, prospective users should follow this link (dhsprogram.com) to register for an account on The DHS Program website. Once an account has been created, users can browse available survey, SPA, and geospatial datasets (DHS - Demographic and Healt…) and submit a request that includes the abstract of their research and justification for requiring cluster-level GPS data. Once the request has been received, it will be reviewed by geospatial team staff within 1-2 business days and access will be granted if sufficient detail is provided.
