Thematic series highlights improvements in mortality statistics


Accurate mortality statistics are fundamental to help guide priorities in public health policy, planning, and resource allocation. Population Health Metrics has published a new thematic series, Measuring mortality in Thailand, which investigates the validity and quality of cause-specific mortality statistics in Thailand during 2005 by using extensive field studies to develop reliable estimates of mortality by age, sex, and cause.
