Comparing two data collection methods to track vital events in maternal and child health via community health workers in rural Nepal
Population Health Metrics - Tập 20 - Trang 1-11 - 2022
Timely tracking of health outcomes is difficult in low- and middle-income countries without comprehensive vital registration systems. Community health workers (CHWs) are increasingly collecting vital events data while delivering routine care in low-resource settings. It is necessary, however, to assess whether routine programmatic data collected by CHWs are sufficiently reliable for timely monitor......
Population health metrics: crucial inputs to the development of evidence for health policy
Population Health Metrics - Tập 1 - Trang 1-4 - 2003
Valid, reliable and comparable measures of the health states of individuals and of the health status of populations are critical components of the evidence base for health policy. We need to develop population health measurement strategies that coherently address the relationships between epidemiological measures (such as risk exposures, incidence, and mortality rates) and multi-domain measures of......
The impact of individual-level heterogeneity on estimated infectious disease burden: a simulation study
Population Health Metrics - - 2016
Disease burden is not evenly distributed within a population; this uneven distribution can be due to individual heterogeneity in progression rates between disease stages. Composite measures of disease burden that are based on disease progression models, such as the disability-adjusted life year (DALY), are widely used to quantify the current and future burden of infectious diseases. Our goal was t......
Autoregression as a means of assessing the strength of seasonality in a time series
Population Health Metrics - Tập 1 - Trang 1-7 - 2003
The study of the seasonal variation of disease is receiving increasing attention from health researchers. Available statistical tests for seasonality typically indicate the presence or absence of statistically significant seasonality but do not provide a meaningful measure of its strength. We propose the coefficient of determination of the autoregressive regression model fitted to the data (

Social capital is associated with lower mosquito vector indices: secondary analysis from a cluster randomised controlled trial of community mobilisation for dengue prevention in Mexico
Population Health Metrics - Tập 17 - Trang 1-11 - 2019
Control of the Aedes aegypti mosquito is central to reducing the risk of dengue, zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever. Randomised controlled trials, including the Camino Verde trial in Mexico and Nicaragua, demonstrate the convincing impact of community mobilisation interventions on vector indices. These interventions might work through building social capital but little is known about the relation......
A latent class analysis of attitudes concerning the acceptability of intimate partner violence in rural Senegal
Population Health Metrics - Tập 18 - Trang 1-8 - 2020
Research concerning the causes and consequences of intimate partner violence (IPV), particularly in less developed areas of the world, has become prominent in the last two decades. Although a number of potential causal factors have been investigated the current consensus is that attitudes toward IPV on the individual level, likely representing perceptions of normative behavior, and the normative a......
Information–processing methods for mortality surveillance in the presence of varying levels of completeness and ill–defined codes of causes of death – the case of Brazil
Population Health Metrics - Tập 12 - Trang 1-7 - 2014
The World Health Organization has developed proposals on how efforts to reduce non–communicable diseases (NCD) in low– and middle–income countries may be monitored over time. One of the proposed indicators is the unconditional probability of death between the ages of 30 and 70 from any of the four main groups of non–communicable diseases – cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseas......
Effect of birthweight measurement quality improvement on low birthweight prevalence in rural Ethiopia
Population Health Metrics - Tập 19 - Trang 1-7 - 2021
Low birthweight (LBW) (< 2500 g) is a significant determinant of infant morbidity and mortality worldwide. In low-income settings, the quality of birthweight data suffers from measurement and recording errors, inconsistent data reporting systems, and missing data from non-facility births. This paper describes birthweight data quality and the prevalence of LBW before and after implementation of a b......
Method for reconstructing mortality by educational groups
Population Health Metrics - Tập 19 - Trang 1-8 - 2021
The lack of classification by educational attainment in death and population exposure data at older ages is an important constraint for studying changes and patterns of mortality disparities by education in Denmark and Sweden. The missing educational distribution of population also restricts analyses aiming at estimating contributions of compositional change to the improvements in national longevi......
Towards a subsiding diabetes epidemic: trends from a large population-based study in Israel
Population Health Metrics - Tập 12 - Trang 1-8 - 2014
With increasing diabetes prevalence worldwide, an impending diabetes “pandemic” has been reported. However, definitions of incident cases and the population at risk remain varied and ambiguous. This study analyzed trends in mortality and screening that contribute to diabetes prevalence and incidence, distinguishing between new incident cases and newly detected cases. In an integrated provider-and-......
