Abstract
Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. It relies on careful interpretation to control for biases inherent in data collection and information systems. This General Interpretation Guide gives an overview of some of the most common biases and guidelines for interpreting data drawn from the Health Management Information System (HMIS) system. Further, for each indicator within the full document, additional interpretation guidance is given.
