Encouraging the use of data for global health and demography starts with providing a comprehensive overview of what relevant data exist. Today, researchers, governmental organizations, and other data owners sometimes provide access to their data on their own websites. Some provide their data to social science data archives and research archives. And in many instances, data are not shared at all. The GHDx is a place where information about data from those different places and providers is brought together, discussed, and featured in the context of health and demographic research. In addition, the GHDx raises awareness about different groups collecting data worldwide and provides standardized citations to encourage appropriate acknowledgment of data owners’ contributions.
