Thank you to IHDS users for sharing their amazing work. If you have papers using IHDS data that are not listed on IHDS website at ihds.UMD.edu please share. We also love hearing from readers about how to enhance the utility of this newsletter.
How do urban destinations affect the health of poor rural migrants? What is the impact of childhood interventions like immunisation on children’s future cognitive abilities? The latest IHDS newsletter papers delve into these critical health questions.
