UNDESA's report (Assessing the impact of the loss of the Demographic and Health Surveys on global pop & family planning data & estimates & on pop research) is out.
"For some countries, there would be almost a complete absence of any fundamental demographic or family planning data without the DHS."

Thank you @mpidr.bsky.social colleagues, @ezagheni.bsky.social and @conteristo.bsky.social for excellent and stimulating discussion points in the Department of Digital and Computational Demography's lab talk!

@oxforddemsci.bsky.social's Research Away Day 🙌

The Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) Program was central in improving the evidence base for health policies and interventions, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Central & Southern Asia - figure by @aasli.bsky.social.
Our preprint on the termination of the DHS Program: osf.io/preprints/so...

More than 9,000 studies, reports, & book chapters published based on 400+ DHS surveys that were conducted in 91 countries, according to our bibliometric analysis (by @aasli.bsky.social). The termination could set the global research community back for years or even decades.
