Can We Measure Healthy Behaviour? | New DHIS2 Tutorial Coming Soon | DHIS2 Metadata Series

[Mayamiko (Mayamiko Z Mendamenda)]

I’ve been working on a new DHIS2 tutorial, and it starts with a simple question.

How do we measure healthy behaviour?

That’s exactly what we’ll explore in my next video.

Coming soon.

Choosing the Right DHIS2 Data Entry Form: Default, Section, or Custom? | DHIS2 Metadata Series

In my previous video, What are Datasets in DHIS2?, I introduced datasets as one of the fundamental concepts in DHIS2 and explained how they support the aggregate data collection process. As a follow-up, this short video looks at the forms that users interact with when entering data into those datasets.

Here is a post on an article I wrote that could help you figure out the approach I could use:

Understanding Aggregate Data in DHIS2 and When to Use It

[Aggregate Data in DHIS2 (1)] When working with DHIS2, what is your process for choosing the right data collection approach for a project? One thing that becomes clear over time is the importance of starting with the end in mind. This naturally leads to the question: What are you trying to accomplish? In many cases, especially for routine reporting an aggregate data approach is the most appropriate starting point. I’ve written a short guide breaking down what aggregate data is and how to thi…
