This collection gathers diverse datasets to support the analysis of health outcomes, consumption behavior, demographic patterns, and policy interventions across Chile. It includes national household surveys such as the EPF (Encuesta de Presupuestos Familiares), administrative health records from IQVIA and AHRQ, geographic grid and map data, and experimental data from field interventions with baseline and follow-up measures. Complementary datasets provide information on population structure (INE), hospitalization trends, chronic disease prevalence, and zip code-level demographics. Spatial datasets covering urban areas like Santiago, Iquique, Valparaíso, and others allow for fine-grained geographic analysis. This integrated data infrastructure enables interdisciplinary research on public health, economic disparities, pharmaceutical access, and the localized impact of social and health policies.
