I recently authored and published an article comparing the diagnostic accuracy of the Modified Alvarado Score with the RIPASA Score in a South-East Asian population. 🔎 Here are a few slides summarising the key points and results of the study.

The Community Perspectives Survey is open for responses through April 30. https://bit.ly/3ITo3MV. This national survey is aimed at serving the public good by gathering insights on the #economic conditions of low- to moderate-income (LMI) communities and the health of the organizations serving them.

❓ How do we ensure no-one is left behind in the transition to admin-based statistics? ➡ There’s a growing shift in official statistics, towards using administrative data sources to replace or complement traditional surveys. These sources aren’t collected for statistics, but for things like health, education, tax, birth and death registration, and so on. They have many advantages, such as not having to burden the public with lots of questions. But they bring challenges too — including ensuring that statistics based on these sources don’t miss out certain parts of the population: very small groups; people with characteristics that aren’t yet clearly defined; undocumented migrants or people involved in illegal activities; people living in remote areas or the homeless; and people who it’s hard to gather data on, e.g. because they are living with dementia or a disability, don’t speak the national language, or are too young or too old to be able to provide data to administrative systems. 👓 Our United Nations Economic Commission for Europe #cesUNECE Task Force led by Danmarks Statistik (Statistics Denmark) is exploring the main hard-to-reach groups in admin sources. 🤝 They’re gathering experiences from across the region to put together a list of best practices and a conceptual framework for identifying and including the groups most commonly left out of admin sources. Their findings and recommendations will be presented to the Conference of European Statisticians for endorsement in 2025. 💡 Watch this space to see how the task force progresses in the collective effort to surmount the barriers to inclusion - so that ‘no one left behind’ can remain the mantra even with the most streamlined, modern statistical practices. ❗ Read more about the task force here: /https://lnkd.in/d6qmy_Wm  #ECESD

The health and social care sector is facing unprecedented challenges, and one of the most critical issues is the widening skills gap. The demand for healthcare and social care services is constantly increasing, driven by an aging population and evolving healthcare needs. By participating in the skills gap survey, employers/ centers / delivery staff can help shape the future of healthcare and social care delivery. They can identify areas where additional training and education are needed, which, in turn, enhances the quality of care provided to patients and clients.

I am incredibly honored to be delivering the keynote speech at the 57th Commission on Population and Development. Today, I will be presenting on "Past and Future Demographic Trends: Fears, Facts and Policy Implications." Join me as we explore the latest insights and data on this critical topic. #populationcommission #nobrainerdata #ICPD30 #CPD2024
