The Nutrition domain provides a variety of nutrition and related health data, including measures of malnutrition, stunting, disease morbidity, mortality, vaccination, medication, and supplementation rates.

The Nutrition domain is broken into three sections:

1. Search and Filter

You can search by various criteria including:

• Data source document: name and organization

• Data series: name, description, and metadata

Learn more about search functionality in FDE.

You can filter the available data series using one or more of the following criteria:

• Start date and End date: Filters data series by the period dates of all data points within the series. All data series with at least one data point that has a period date inside the date range will be displayed.

• Data Series status: Filters data series by active or inactive status. Inactive Data Series have been marked by a data manager as no longer receiving new data. This may be because a change in the way the data is being collected (such as a new source or change in units) warranted starting a new Data Series, or because the data is no longer being collected.

• Geographic: Filters by location of the nutrition data. This filter aggregates items into a multi-level lists (e.g., admin 1 units are aggregated into countries, which are aggregated into regions). Selecting the higher-level item in the list will automatically select all the lower-level items in the list.

• Indicator: Filers by a metric of interest and allows for meaningful comparisons over time. The indicator options for the nutrition domain include options such as Anemia among pregnant women % and Crude Mortality Rate.

• Data Source Document: Filters by the name of the document used as the primary source of information or data.

Searching and/or applying filters creates a savable dataset. For more information on creating and saving datasets, see Create and Save Datasets.

2. Data Selection

Once you have applied your search terms and filters, you will be presented with a list of all available data series that match your criteria. A data series is a collection of related data points from a single data source that are viewable as a single row within a table of data. They represent the change over time of a specific indicator. Data series are presented in table format where each row represents a single data series.

The Nutrition domain data selection table includes the following columns:

• Country: The name of the country where the nutrition data was collected.

• Locality: The geographic unit where the population data was reported. This may be an administrative unit, livelihood zone, border point, market, or other geographic unit. If the geographic unit is a market, the locality will specify urban or rural. If the geographic unit set version has an associated date, that will also be appended to the locality.

• Indicator: Metric of interest that allows for meaningful comparisons over time. The indicator options for the nutrition domain include options such as Anemia among pregnant women % and Crude Mortality Rate.

• First: Period date for the first collection/reporting period in the data series.

• Last: Period date for the last collection/reporting period in the data series.

• Count: The number of data points in the data series.

• Info: Hover over the information icon in a row to see more details including the data series ID, data source document, and data usage policy.

In addition to selecting data series, you can interact with the data selection table in the following ways:

• Selected data series can be viewed in the Selected tab.

• You can clear your selections using the Clear Selection button.

• By default the series are ordered alphabetically by country. You can click on the header of any column to sort by that column instead of by country.

Selecting one or more data series creates a savable dataset. For more information on creating and saving datasets, see Create and Save Datasets.

3. Data Visualization and Export

Visualize

The Nutrition domain currently includes a Table visualization.

Customize

Customization options within the Nutrition domain allows for aggregation or conversion of the data. The available parameters are:

• Reporting Schedule: Provides reporting options on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual basis. The default reporting schedule is monthly.

Export

The Nutrition domain includes the following options:

• File format: Choose from one of the available file formats. This will apply to both downloads and refreshable links.

• Download: Provides a download of a static dataset. This will export only the data series that you have selected.

• Copy link: Copies a refreshable link that connects directly to the FEWS NET Data Warehouse database server, allowing Excel, your browser, or another application to automatically fetch data from the server whenever the link is accessed.
