Face, head, and neck problems among refugees living in Nyarugusu Refugee Camp, Tanzania

The Surgeons Overseas Assessment of Surgical Need (SOSAS) survey tool was administered in Nyarugusu Refugee Camp, Tanzania between August and September of 2021 to estimate the burden of face, head, and neck (FHN) disease among refugees and identify predictors of surgical need. This dataset contains all 462 refugees who endorsed having a potentially surgically correctable pathology in the face, head, and neck region. In addition to demographic variables, we include baseline health characteristics, and characteristics specific to the face, head, and neck pathology.
