The Addis Health and Demographic Surveillance System (Addis-HDSS): Context and Method
Establishing an urban HDSS was feasible with reasonable effort due to the presence of a digital map and the willingness of the urban population. This surveillance system will be an asset to generate reliable urban health and demographic information by providing an unbiased sampling frame for health-related studies. The HDSS will also be used to test the effectiveness of population-based public health interventions.
