This "database" of databases is very useful in my day-to-day activities as it allows me to find quickly which databases will fit the best regarding the research questions I have. It is very complete and contains information on countries for which it is sometimes difficult to find information elsewhere.

9/19/17: Our 6th Finnish database profile has been added

Since 1950, the National Institute for Health and Welfare Finland (THL) Register of Induced Abortions monitors and develops measures to promote the health and well-being of the population of Finland. Among other things, data include information on grounds for abortion - since 1955. Starting 1958, information is available on patient’s marital status, age, number of births and the number of procedures performed in each province.

8/24/17: Profile of a US Military Health Services database just added.

We are pleased to include the Department of Defense (DoD) Military Health Services (MHS) Electronic Health Records Database profile into B.R.I.D.G.E. This database encompasses ~40-50 Million uniformed service members, retirees, and their family members across all states, territories, and regions of the US from 1990 through the present. There are ~10 Million active beneficiaries, and the database population is demographically similar to most US healthcare systems.
