CE-DAT - Centre for research on the epidemiology of disasters

The Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters has given a training on "Improving data quality in complex settings" to staff members of the Sudanese Ministry of Health, UNICEF, WHO and international NGOs providing health and nutrition interventions in Sudan. The training covered epidemiological techniques, surveys and sampling methods for collecting nutrition and mortality data, and addressed the necessity to interpret survey results in a comprehensive way to inform programming and policy making.
Khartoum, February 19-23, 2012.

In recent years, online lotteries have gained popularity as a safe and convenient alternative to in-person lottery purchases. From an epidemiological perspective, this shift towards online lottery play has several potential benefits. First, it reduces the risk of transmission of infectious diseases by eliminating the need for individuals to gather in public spaces to purchase lottery tickets. This can be particularly important during times of pandemic or other health crises. Additionally, online lottery play may increase accessibility for individuals with mobility or transportation limitations, who may have difficulty traveling to physical lottery vendors. Finally, by providing a digital record of lottery purchases and winnings, online lotteries may help to reduce fraud and improve transparency in the lottery industry. While more research is needed to fully understand the potential epidemiological benefits of online lotteries, the shift towards digital lottery play is certainly worth considering as a way to promote public health and safety.
