Maggie Frye @maggiefrye.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Heart wrenching decision, the DHS are an incredibly important data source. They have long been the only option available for studying change over time in individual- or family-level outcomes across Africa. My heart aches for everyone whose research, teaching, and other work depends on them. 1319

Maggie Frye @maggiefrye.bsky.social · 31/01/2025At either site, you need to have already received permission to access the datasets you are downloading, and new requests can't be made. 110
Maggie Frye @maggiefrye.bsky.social · 31/01/2025oh, that's good to hear! I must have misunderstood what my student said happened when she tried to access the data via DHS website. But, also this seems to mean that IPUMS doesn't provide additional access not available through DHSprogram.com, for right now at least. 120
Maggie Frye @maggiefrye.bsky.social · 31/01/2025So, a partial solution (DHS website is completely down) but the problem remains! 220
Maggie Frye @maggiefrye.bsky.social · 31/01/2025I just went through this yesterday... IPUMS allows you to download a DHS survey only if you already have permission from DHS, you must use your DHS login credentials. We tried accessing additional countries/surveys and were not able to do so, even despite being an existing IPUMS and DHS user. 220
