IndividualsCoverage
The dataset contains records from individuals accessing care for HIV, hypertension and diabetes from primary health care facilities within the Agincourt surveillance area and are linked to the Agincourt Health and socio-demographic surveillance (AHDSS). The AHDSS database contains the data resulting from the exhaustive coverage of demographic events within a geographically defined population, namely the Agincourt sub-district of the Bushbuckridge district of South Africa. As of May 2013, the study site consists of 30 research villages with a population of 116,000 people, living in some 21,000 households.The data used for the study comes from the Agincourt HDSS-clinic-hospital record linkage system. This system collects healthcare services utilisation data from the health facilities in the Agincourt HDSS study area and two district hospitals located some 25-60km away from the HDSS study area. The data collected through the record-linkage system for each individual is linked to the corresponding HDSS data for that individual using a combination of deterministic and probabilistic record linkage techniques applied to conventional personal identifiers
