Health Poverty and Place: Modeling Inequalities in Accra Using RS and GIS (ICPSR 36015)
Released/updated on: 2015-06-22
Geographic coverage: Africa, Ghana
This project collects data on geographic differentials in health and mortality in urban Accra, Ghana. It uses remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) technology to measure the association of adverse health outcomes with neighborhood ecology, collects observations of physical features and build structures visible from satellite imagery, and assesses additional community-level variables such as social organization and institutions. This study also uses census and survey data on the area. The respondents to the 2003 Accra Women's Health Survey are also re-interviewed on health outcomes.
