The Africa Centre Demographic Information System (ACDIS) cohort in rural KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, was established in 2000.In 2017, the cohort expanded and renamed the Population Intervention Platform (PIP). Public health priorities in South Africa have changed over the past 20 years, with widespread availability of ART and a growing burden of non-communicable disease (NCD).AHRI's research programme has shifted to address these new priorities, and to deliver and evaluate interventions. In mid-2018, the cohort had approximately 140,000 individuals (median age=23 years, IQR=11-36), of whom 66% were members of households in the original ACDIS cohort. New questions include additional household socioeconomic indicators, and diagnosis and treatment of HIV, TB and NCDs.Attendance at clinics in the PIP area is captured.New linkages to routine data provide information on treatment, morbidity, health service usage, and a range of health outcomes.
