AHRI Data Repository

The Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) has published its updated analytical datasets for 2016. The datasets cover socio-economic, education and employment information for individuals and households in AHRI’s population research area in rural northern KwaZulu-Natal. The datasets also include details on the migration patterns of the individuals and households who migrated into and out of the surveillance area as well as data on probable causes of death for individuals who passed away. Data collection for the 2016 individual interviews – which involves a dried blood spot sample being taken – is still in progress, and therefore datasets on HIV status and General Health only go up to 2015 for now. Over the past 16 years researchers have developed an extensive longitudinal database of demographic, social, economic, clinical and laboratory information about people over the age of 15 living in the AHRI population research area. During this time researchers have followed more than 160 000 people, of which 92 000 are still in the programme.

非洲健康研究学院（AHRI）已发布其2016年的更新分析数据集。这些数据集涵盖了AHRI人口研究区域内个人和家庭的社经、教育和就业信息。数据集还包括个体和家庭的迁移模式详情，以及死亡个体的可能死因数据。2016年个体访谈的数据收集工作仍在进行中，涉及采取干血斑样本，因此关于HIV状态和一般健康状况的数据集目前仅更新至2015年。在过去16年间，研究人员已建立了一个关于15岁以上生活在AHRI人口研究区域内人群的广泛纵向数据库，该数据库包含了人口统计、社会、经济、临床和实验室信息。在此期间，研究人员追踪了超过160,000人，其中92,000人仍在项目中。
