Register for IPUMS Global Health Webinar
There is a strong connection between place, healthcare access, and health, however the data traditionally used to measure spatial access are not universally available; this issue is particularly acute in countries with the poorest health outcomes. Building on a series of posts on the IPUMS DHS Spatial Analysis and Health Research Hub Blog, we are conducting a hands-on, step-by-step demonstration of a raster-based healthcare accessibility workflow in Python and R using globally-available, free, and high-resolution data. We will describe open-source code for measuring access to health care infrastructure across space, then attach this measure to spatially-referenced individual data in the Kenya 2020 data in IPUMS PMA. Register to join us at 10:00am CST on August 11th, 2026!

Virtual Office Hours
10:00am-11:30am CT
Join us for virtual office hours on Wednesday, September 16 to chat with IPUMS data experts about your questions. Registration is required to attend virtual office hours, but you can drop in anytime between 10:00am and 11:30am CT with your questions for the researchers that make IPUMS possible.
About Virtual Office Hours: Virtual Office Hours are held quarterly and are a chance to connect data experts with data users to get their questions answered in a setting similar to a conference exhibit hall, but in an online format. The goal is to provide regular opportunities for face-to-face, personalized support from data experts in a casual atmosphere.
