All-Ireland health and wellbeing data set will allow for more comprehensive local health profiling
19 Dec 2008
On 12 August INIsPHO released two new data sets:
- The interim release of the Irish Health Poverty Index (iHPI); and
- The All-Ireland Health and Social Care Indicator Set (AIHSC).
The iHPI has now been completed and the iHPI and the AIHSC, along with a number of additional demographic and socio-economic indicators, have been incorporated into one combined dataset, the All-Ireland Health and Wellbeing Data Set (AIHWDS). Users will now be able to compare indicators from different indicator sets and get more comprehensive profiles of a particular area.
The AIHWDS contains:
- 27 indicators that cover the island of Ireland
- 65 indicators that cover every (traditional) county in the Republic of Ireland
- 81 indicators that cover every Local Government District in Northern Ireland.
The dataset can be accessed by going to www.inispho.org/AIHWDS
Draft technical documentation for the dataset is available here.
