  abstract = {{T}he adolescent birth rate ({ABR}) is an important indicator of maternal health, adolescent sexual health, and gender equity; it remains high in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica. {W}hile {D}emographic and {H}ealth {S}urveys ({DHS}) are the main source of {ABR} estimates, {H}ealth and {D}emographic {S}urveillance {S}ystems ({HDSS}) also produce {ABR}s. {S}tudies are lacking, however, to assess the ease of access and accuracy of {HDSS} {ABR} measures. {I}n this paper, we use birth and exposure data from 10 {HDSS} in six {A}frican countries to compute local {ABR}s and compare these rates to {DHS} regional rates where the {HDSS} sites are located, standardizing by education and place of residence. {I}n rural {HDSS} sites, the {ABR} measure is on average 44 percent lower than the {DHS} measure, after controlling for education and place of residence. {S}trong temporary migration of childless young women out of rural areas and different capacities in capturing temporarily absent women in the {DHS} and {HDSS} could explain this discrepancy. {F}urther comparisons based on more strictly similar populations and measures seem warranted.},
