Annex 7. Data source mapping in Indonesia

The following is an example of data source mapping, including data source linking, in Indonesia. It is derived from a data source mapping exercise conducted in 2016 for the preparation of the State of health inequality: Indonesia report (1). The exercise was led by the Indonesian National Institute of Health Research and Development, in consultation with other stakeholders (2). Templates for each of the tables are available from the Health Inequality Monitor (3).

This data source mapping exercise aimed to capture a broad array of health topics and dimensions of inequality relevant to the national population.

Step 1

Table A7.1 provides a comprehensive list of potentially relevant data sources, and the year from which they are available. It includes the population census, an institution-based source, several health surveys and the vital registration system.

Step 2

In Table A7.2, the data sources from Table A7.1 are assigned unique numbers, and seven relevant dimensions of inequality are mapped for selected years.
