CHAMPS conducts demographic surveillance to identify and track all pregnancies, births, deaths, and population numbers in the places where we work. Health and demographic surveillance data provide context for interpreting pregnancies, births, and deaths identified by CHAMPS relative to all these events throughout each CHAMPS catchment area. This broader context helps us identify more precisely the predominant causes of mortality and morbidity through diagnostic and laboratory methods, ultimately using this data to estimate prevalence of mortality and morbidity across populations. These high-quality, population-level estimates are crucial to informing public health policy and interventions.
