Spatial Clusters of Diarrhea Among Under-Five Children, Mozambique DHS 2022/2023

Statistically significant spatial clusters of diarrhea cases among children under five years old in Mozambique. The 5.5 KB XLS file was authored by Thomas Kidanemariam Yewodiaw and last updated on figshare in May 2026. This dataset likely contains results from the 2022/2023 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) for Mozambique.

Use Cases

• Identify geographic hotspots of diarrhea incidence based on the spatial cluster analysis.
• Inform public health intervention targeting based on statistically significant cluster locations.
• Analyze correlations between spatial patterns and other DHS survey variables.
• Validate or compare spatial statistical methods for disease mapping.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly linked to the nationally representative Mozambique DHS 2022/2023 survey.
• File size of 5.5 KB suggests a focused, processed dataset ready for analysis.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse and sharing.

Limitations
