Population in areas with infectious disease



Population in areas with infectious disease

README for population in infectious disease areas (dispop.*)

Variables in this data set: population in areas with infectious disease weighted by 1994 population for: yellow fever (1952 and 1996); plague (1952); leprosy (1952); visceral leishmaniasis (1954 and 1984); helminthiasis (1952); dengue fever (1951, and 1975 to 1995); schistosomiasis (1987); and lymphatic filiriases (1984).

Description of data (Word file) is a Microsoft Word document (dispop-dta.doc) containing a list of each variable within the infectious disease area data set, a description of each variable, how the variable was created, the source of the variable, and any extra notes.

Stata do file is a program (dispop.do) written in Stata to load the data in dispop.csv and create the variable labels etc. in dispop.dta. It can be used as a model to load the data into other statistical packages besides Stata.

Stata data file is the Stata data set with the infectious disease data by country (dispop.dta).

ASCII file is a comma separated value file (dispop.csv) of the infectious disease data that can be opened as a spreadsheet in Excel, or used in conjunction with the Stata do file (dispop.do).

These data sets were created as part of The Center for International Development’s ongoing research into the role of geography in economic development (see cid.harvard.edu/economic.htm). They have been created between 1998 and 1999. Please reference CID if you use this data in a publication.
