- Description
The Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx) is a catalog that provides relevant data on population health. The catalog contains surveys, censuses, vital statistics, and other health-related data. The GHDx was created by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluations (IHME), an independent global health research center at the University of Washington. The GHDx is a place where information about data is brought together, discussed, and featured in the context of health and demographic research. The GHDx raises awareness about different groups collecting data worldwide and provides standardized citations to encourage appropriate acknowledgment of data owners’ contributions.
