人口和健康调查是关于中低收入国家妇女和幼儿健康的最重要的比较资料来源，非常适合研究环境因素与健康之间的关系。然而，障碍限制了人口和健康调查用于这些目的。IPUMS人口和健康调查是一个在线数据传播工具，它克服了这些障碍，简化了与人口和健康调查的比较分析。IPUMS人口和健康调查最近纳入了环境变量，这些变量可以很容易地附在个人或家庭记录上，便于使用人口和健康调查数据研究人口和环境问题。我们提供了一个简单的介绍IPUMS DHS，描述了当前和预期的环境变量以及如何使用它们，并提供了一个新的研究可能性的例子，这个最新的IPUMS DHS的发展。IPUMS-DHS可在网上免费获得。
The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) are the most important source of comparative information on the health of women and young children in low- and middle-income countries and are well-suited for studies of the relationship between environmental factors and health. However, barriers have limited the use of the DHS for these purposes. IPUMS DHS, an online data dissemination tool, overcomes these barriers, simplifying comparative analyses with DHS. IPUMS DHS recently incorporated environmental variables that can easily be attached to individual or household records, facilitating the use of DHS data for the study of population and environment issues. We provide a brief introduction to IPUMS DHS, describe the current and anticipated environmental variables and how to use them, and provide an example of the novel research possibilities facilitated by this latest IPUMS DHS development.
