Abstract
These three datasets archive records for calculating the statistics presented in the publication: Gabriela Mejia-Pailles, Ann Berrington, Nuala McGrath & Victoria Hosegood. Trends in the prevalence and incidence of orphanhood in children and adolescents <20 years in rural KwaZulu-Natal South Africa, 2000-2014. PLOS ONE 2019 (full citation when available).
The paper documents trends in orphaning estimates from 2000-2014 in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The study used existing longitudinal data collected by Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) as part of demographic surveillance (ACDIS). We analysed longitudinal, population-based data for approximately 90,000 members of households collected during repeated routine household visits from 2000-2014. Data on between 30,000-34,000 children and adolescents (<20 years), and regularly updated survival status of their parents, were used to estimate: i) annual prevalence of maternal, paternal and double orphaning (years 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2014 only are presented in the paper), ii) maternal and paternal orphaning incidence(years 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2014 only are presented in the paper),and iii) annual mortality rates of mothers and fathers with children <20 years by cause (all years presented in paper). Further details on study methods are available in the published work.
