1-in-10 AHDSS Sample Database

This database is a 10% sample of locations from the full Agincourt database and all observed data at those locations. In essence, it represents 10% of the DSA. It can be used as an evaluation tool for developing data requests and for familiarizing an analyst with the structure and availability of data with in the Agincourt database. It also can be used as a teaching tool for demographic methods and the management of DSS data.  It does not contain data that can be analyzed for publication.
