What type of data is primarily collected during the verification and enrichment process?

During the verification and enrichment process, qualitative and quantitative data are primarily collected. This phase is crucial for ensuring that the information gathered is accurate, comprehensive, and ready for analysis. Qualitative data provides insights into the characteristics, behaviors, and opinions of individuals or groups, while quantitative data offers measurable and statistically analyzable information.

Together, these types of data help create a holistic understanding of community health needs, allowing for better-targeted interventions. The verification process ensures data accuracy, which is vital for making informed public health decisions. By enriching the data, healthcare professionals can identify gaps in the existing data and gather additional, valuable information that improves the overall quality and usability of the dataset. This depth of detail supports evidence-based decision-making in community health initiatives.
