Taabo Health and Demographic Surveillance Site INDEPTH Core Dataset (Taabo HDSS)
Taabo HDSS aims to monitor health trends and demographic changes over time. The initiative is part of a larger network of health and demographic surveillance systems that aim to provide comprehensive insights into population health, mortality, and morbidity patterns. It includes continuously updated socio-demographic information for more than 40,000 participants who live in Taabo, a primarily rural area of south-central Côte d’Ivoire. Baseline data collection took place in 2009 and participants were initially followed up every three months. As of 2011, participants have been followed up every four months.
