INDEPTH: Network of Demographic Surveillance Sites
INDEPTH is an International Network of field sites with continuous Demographic

At a meeting in Dar es Salaam in 1998, members of field sites based on demographic and health surveillance convened to establish the INDEPTH network. Seventeen field sites, drawn from 13 countries in Africa and Asia, participated in this constituting meeting.
