Thanks to everyone who came to #LACDev and made it a great conference!

And thanks for being on a really important and productive panel, @daveevansphd.bsky.social

It's great to see thoughtful cost-benefit analysis in this work.

Kinship networks continue to be an organizing force in many Chinese villages.

That's great! Thanks for sharing this. I assumed someone was working to salvage this. Good to know it's in the works!

I agree. I don't think anyone is currently working at the DHS. The website states that they are not responding to any requests at this time (hopefully, sometime in the future?). So, it seems like the data partners are the only option for now. I'll reach out to them.

Thanks for the shout out, Caroline!

It feels like a tricky situation though since there is no longer an avenue to approve new users. Eventually, the data will just stop being used unless we have a way to share it... morally tricky.

That's a great idea! I'll reach out to them.

Do you have access to the DHS data from Indonesia, and are you willing to share it? Or do you know of anyone who has compiled all DHS data since the site is not taking requests for new data users?
