Birth Data:
Monthly birth data by state - United States (1915-2008):
I digitized these data for the 2014 ProcB paper examining the effect of human birth seasonality on childhood infectious diseases. We published the data from 1931-2008, but I later found 15 more years of data for certain states. Availability: Dryad link to data
Monthly birth data by country (developed countries)- Various (1900-2012):
These data were aggregated from various online sources and published in our 2014 ProcB paper. Availability: Dryad link to data
Monthly birth data by country (developing countries) - Various (~1940-present):
These data were reconstructed from survey data over the course of 30 years and are currently being processed. I also have various South American (country level) birth data from online sources. These data will be available following publication, goal is to have them available in early 2019.
Monthly birth and death data from England and Wales (1541-1871):
Data have been digitized, cleaned, and processed, just need some spare time for additional analyses. Goal is to have these available by the end of 2018.
Disease Data
Monthly disease data - 100+ countries, 19 diseases, 1942-1976:
Data are slowly being digitized, 4 diseases are done, 15 to go. Trying out a bit of automation this semester (Spring 2018). These are likely more than a year away from being cleaned/processed, so availability will be late 2019 at the earliest. Portions of this dataset, like the 4 already done, will be available at an earlier date.
Monthly disease data, 93 diseases - SE Asia, 1970-present:
These data (2001-present) were scraped from the web, while the 1970-2000 were digitized from historical documents. Data are currently being cleaned/processed and will be available following publication, target date is late 2019.
