Mlomp Health and Demographic Surveillance System (Mlomp HDSS)
Mlomp HDSS was established in 1984 to study the demographic and health situation of a West African population with high mortality levels, to observe changes over time, and to examine the factors involved. The Mlomp area is in the Ziguinchor Region, in the Département of Oussouye, in southwest Senegal, West Africa. Since 1984, the study has collected data annually from all individuals in the Mlomp HDSS site. Data was not collected in 1987 and 2008. In 2015, the Mlomp HDSS site had a population of 8,751. Other data are collected at various times in the context of specific surveys, often on population samples.
