Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance Site (Nouna HDSS)
The Nouna HDSS was established in 1992 to provide reliable demographic and health indictors for a rural population in Burkina Faso. The study site consists of the town of Nouna and surrounding villages in northwest Burkina Faso, covering around 105,000 residents as of December 2015. Trained field staff visited households in the HDSS area every 3 months until 2006, and every 4 months since to record births, deaths, and in- and out-migration. Data is collected for all residents of visited households.
