04 — Data Sources and Scope
Three data layers and seven analytical tables
The atlas combines administrative geography, district and regional health data, and a separate set of dated field records. Seven complete 261-row analytical tables were selected after review of 53 source CSV files. Incomplete fields are not reported as national measures.

Administrative boundaries
District polygons come from Ghana administrative boundary GeoJSON documented in the contributing repositories as Ghana Statistical Service-derived or OCHA HDX public geography. The same geometry supplies district perimeters, representative coordinates and the 16-region aggregation.
Population and health evidence
District determinants draw chiefly from the 2021 Population and Housing Census. Ghana DHS 2019 and 2022 indicators remain identified as regional estimates assigned to districts within each survey region; NHIA and study-derived indices retain their stated analytical resolution.
Dated field records
The seven event markers come from the site's documented activity register, with recorded dates, locations, coordinates, descriptions and local image paths. They are a professional field archive, not a national facility registry or epidemiological sample.
Interpretation: these indicators describe geographic context. Regional summaries are population-weighted. The atlas does not estimate individual risk, test causal effects or replace the methods reported by each source study.
- T1Demography and structural determinants
GSS PHC 2021 population, poverty, literacy, employment, insurance and dependency measures at district level.
- T2Insurance and women's education
PHC district context combined with DHS 2019/2022 regional insurance, education and facility-delivery estimates; regional proxies are disclosed in the source repositories.
- T3SDG, WASH, services and outcomes
Census context, regional service indicators and derived health scores. Regional DHIMS2 measures remain uniform within their source region.
- T4Nutrition, anaemia and child health
DHS 2022 regional outcomes modelled to district surfaces with PHC 2021 covariates; estimates are model-based, not direct district observations.
- T5Maternal and reproductive health
DHS 2022 service indicators, PHC 2021 determinants and NHIA summaries assembled as an ecological district dataset.
- T6Immunisation coverage
DHS 2022 regional immunisation estimates linked to district-varying PHC 2021 socioeconomic context; geographic resolution is retained in interpretation.
- T7Ranked structural vulnerability
A reproducible index derived from six PHC 2021 structural determinants and ranked across 261 districts.
