Measuring and Scaling Mortality in Mexico

This project proposes to analyze a dataset of 7.5 million death certificates in Mexico, seeking to understand the patterns of under-registration by cause of death at low levels of territorial disaggregation. By correcting reporting biases, it seeks to provide a health performance metric that can linked both with epidemiological and public health studies of health inequality and surveillance as well as social science research on governance and the social determinants of the health.
