Ifanadiana Health Outcomes and Prosperity longitudinal Evaluation (IHOPE)
The IHOPE cohort study is a prospective observational cohort in households in the Ifanadiana District in Madagascar, as part of a health system-strengthening project. IHOPE includes over 1,500 households, representing over 8,000 individual household members. Approximately 1,600 women aged 15-49 years, over 1,700 men aged 15-59 years and over 1,250 children under the age of 5 years were interviewed on behalf of their households at baseline. An additional 124 households were added to the IHOPE cohort in the second follow up, with enrollment data available on 10,508 individuals from a combination of two waves of data collection.
