Healthy or unhealthy migrants? Identifying internal migration effects on mortality in Africa using health and demographic surveillance systems of the INDEPTH network. [PDF]
Soc Sci Med, 2016 Migration has been hypothesised to be selective on health but this healthy migrant hypothesis has generally been tested at destinations, and for only one type of flow, from deprived to better-off areas. The circulatory nature of migration is rarely accounted for.

PLoS One, 2016 Low- and middle-income countries are often described as being at intermediate stages of epidemiological transition, but there is little population-based data with reliable cause of death assignment to examine the situation in more detail. Non-communicable diseases are widely seen as a coming threat to population health, alongside receding burdens of ...

InDepth: A Distributed Data Collection System for Modern Computer Networks
ElectronicsCybersecurity researchers and security analysts rely heavily on data to train and test network threat detection models, and to conduct post-breach forensic analyses. Comprehensive data-including network traces, host telemetry, and contextual information-are crucial for these tasks. However, widely used public datasets often suffer from outdated network

The origin of non-specific effects of vaccines and the role of randomised clinical trials [PDF]
Human Vaccines & ImmunotherapeuticsRecent articles claim that randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have not documented non-specific effects of vaccines (NSE), i.e. broader immunomodulatory effects of vaccines. We reviewed the role of RCTs in the discovery of NSEs.

Social factors and overweight: evidence from nine Asian INDEPTH Network sites. [PDF]
Glob Health Action, 2009 Overweight/obesity increases the risk of morbidity and mortality from a number of chronic conditions, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some cancers. This study examined the distribution of body mass index (BMI) in nine Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) sites in five Asian countries and investigated the association between ...
