摘要

摘要:考虑到可靠和准确的人口数据对发展规划的重要性以及非洲人口普查数据经常出现的错误，本文研究了2010年加纳人口普查与卫生和人口监测系统(HDSS)报告在加纳共和国卡塞纳-南卡纳东区和卡塞纳-南卡纳西区之间的一致性水平。我们采用数据评估技术来评估数据质量，并采用比例检验来检验两种数据系统之间的差异。结果显示，人口普查数据与人口统计数据在年龄性别分布、粗死亡率和死亡模式方面有一定程度的一致性。然而，HDSS的数据表明，相对于人口普查，报告要好一些。我们的结论是，在一些指标中观察到的巨大差异需要进一步调查，以确定其来源，以便提高后续数据收集的质量。

Data Reliability: Comparison between Census and Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) Outputs for Kassena-Nankana East and West Districts, Ghana

Abstract:Considering the importance of reliable and accurate demographic data for development planning and the errors often associated with census data in Africa, this paper examines the level of consistency of reporting between the 2010 Ghana Population Census and the Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) for Kasena-Nankana East Municipal and Kassena-Nankana West district in the Republic of Ghana. We apply data evaluation techniques to assess data quality and adopt Test of Proportions to examine differences between the two data systems. The results show some level of consistency between the Census and HDSS data relative to age-sex distribution, crude death rate and mortality pattern. However, the HDSS data suggest relatively better reporting than the Census. We conclude that the large differences observed in some indicators need to be interrogated further to identify their sources so as to allow for improvement in quality of subsequent waves of data collection.
