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. osf.io/preprints/so...

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...

🚨 The end of an era for global health data — and a defining crossroads. In Jan 2025, the DHS Program—the backbone of health & demographic data in 90+ countries—was terminated after US aid cuts of up to 84%. Our researchers & global collaborators reflect on it in a recent pre-print🧵

To mark 50 years of Population and Development Review, Prof @ridhikashyap.bsky.social & Dr @aasli.bsky.social analysed its research themes & authorship trends over the last half-century 📚🌎 Read now ⬇️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
