This document discusses issues with applying a correction factor of 1.5 to maternal mortality ratio estimates for countries in the Americas region. Specifically, it notes that applying the same correction factor to countries with better vital registration systems artificially inflates their ratios, while benefiting countries with poorer registration. It also finds inconsistencies between some country estimates, suggesting the statistical model could be adjusted to better reflect differences in trends. The document questions applying a correction factor of 1.5 to countries like Argentina, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Uruguay and the US, given improvements to their registration systems.

The document discusses poverty and public assistance programs in Texas. It shows that Texas has one of the lowest ratios of families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits compared to the number of poor families (4 out of every 100 poor families in 2015-16). This ratio has declined significantly from 47 out of 100 in 1995-96. The maximum monthly TANF benefit in Texas ($286) equals only 17% of the federal poverty level. While the number of families in poverty and deep poverty has increased in Texas, the number receiving TANF cash assistance has decreased dramatically. The document also briefly outlines sources of state revenue in Texas such as sales tax, property tax, and sin taxes.

The document discusses issues with applying a correction factor of 1.5 to vital registration data to calculate maternal mortality ratios. Specifically, it notes that applying this correction factor uniformly overestimates ratios for countries with high-quality registration systems and benefits those with lower quality data. It also argues that the correction factor should decrease over time as registration improves and questions inconsistencies between recent estimates for some countries like Mexico. The document calls for more details and transparency in how the ratios are calculated.

ASSESSMENT OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS BASED ON VITAL STATISTICS
This presentation discusses how vital statistics can be used to assess nutritional status. Vital statistics are defined as data on births, deaths, illnesses and rates calculated from this data. Mortality rates like infant mortality rate and maternal mortality rate are indirect indicators of community nutritional status. Morbidity rates like incidence and prevalence rates can also provide information. Data is typically collected from vital registration systems, censuses, surveys and hospital records. Advantages are that vital statistics require few resources while disadvantages include potential inaccuracies in data collection and reporting of causes of death.
Maternal Mortality
Maternal mortality remains a significant global issue, with nearly 830 women dying daily from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. The majority (99%) of maternal deaths occur in developing countries, where access to skilled healthcare is limited. Key factors that influence a woman's risk include her location (rural areas pose higher risk), economic status (poorer communities at higher risk), and age (adolescents at highest risk). While the global maternal mortality ratio has declined 44% between 1990-2015, many countries still show no progress. Reliable data remains scarce but interventions like skilled birth attendance and access to family planning can significantly reduce maternal deaths.
Maternal mortality
Maternal mortality is defined as the death of a woman during pregnancy or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy. The three main causes of maternal death are hemorrhage, infection, and hypertensive disorders, which together account for 75-80% of direct maternal deaths. India accounts for 25% of global maternal deaths despite having only 16% of the world's population. Every year approximately 8 million women suffer from pregnancy related complications worldwide and over half a million die. Maternal mortality can be greatly reduced by ensuring access to quality emergency obstetric care services and family planning programs.
Morbidity and mortality slides
This document discusses various health indicators used to measure morbidity and mortality. It defines key terms like mortality, crude death rate, life expectancy. It also covers morbidity measures like prevalence, incidence and types of morbidity rates. Different rates are explained including infant, child, maternal and other cause-specific mortality rates. The importance and limitations of these indicators in understanding population health are also summarized.

This study examined the impact of increased insecticide-treated mosquito net (ITN) distribution on child mortality in Malawi between 2004-2010. Using national survey and ITN distribution data at the district level, the researchers conducted a statistical analysis controlling for socioeconomic factors. They found that higher levels of ITN distribution were significantly associated with lower under-five mortality. Specifically, districts with over 0.25 ITNs per person experienced an 11% reduction in child deaths compared to districts with lower ITN levels. This suggests increased ITN coverage contributed meaningfully to the overall decline in under-five mortality in Malawi during this period.
Adherencia al tarv en am latina y caribe
This systematic review and meta-analysis examined adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with HIV in Latin America and the Caribbean. The analysis included 53 studies published between 2005-2016 involving over 22,000 individuals across 25 countries. The overall adherence rate was estimated to be 70%, similar to rates in high-income regions. Adherence was higher with shorter recall periods and in lower income countries. Common barriers to adherence included substance abuse, depression, unemployment and pill burden. The review suggests adherence in the region may be below the level needed for long-term viral suppression.

Cancer control access and inequality in Latin America: A tale of light and sh...The Economist Media Businesses
In Latin America, cancer and its control present often stark contrasts—or, in the words of one expert interviewed for this study, “light and shadow”. Rapid change occurs next to stubborn stasis, and substantial progress in some areas is intermingled with still unmet, pressing needs in others.
It is also an issue with growing political salience within the region: past success in the control of communicable diseases has increased the relative profile of non-communicable ones.
This study looks in detail at both the bright spots and the ongoing gaps for Latin American governments as they wrestle with cancer and seek to provide accessible prevention and care to their populations. Its particular focus is on 12 countries in Central and South America chosen for various factors, including their size and level of economic development. These states, referred to as “study countries”, are Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. Together they accounted for 92% of cancer incidence and 91% of mortality in Central and South America in 2012.
The study also introduces a major tool for stakeholders seeking to understand this field: the Latin America Cancer Control Scorecard (LACCS). The LACCS relies on significant desk research to rank the 12 study countries on their performance in different areas of direct relevance to cancer-control access. In addition to the scorecard, the report also draws on its own, separate substantial research as well as 20 interviews with experts on cancer in the region and worldwide. Its key findings include the following.Atlas diabetes south america
This document summarizes diabetes statistics and trends in South and Central America. It reports that in 2015, an estimated 29.6 million people in the region had diabetes, with 11.5 million cases being undiagnosed. By 2040, the number of diabetes cases is expected to rise over 60% to 48.8 million people. Puerto Rico currently has the highest diabetes prevalence in the region. Health expenditures due to diabetes are also expected to increase significantly by 2040.

This document summarizes research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on reproductive rights in Latin America. The research found that while 6 of the 9 countries studied recognized reproductive health as essential, all countries restricted access. This led to adverse health outcomes like increased maternal mortality. The pandemic acted as a catalyst, both facilitating some changes like expanded telemedicine abortion access, but also intensifying resistance in countries like Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru that limited abortion access. The research concludes that good practices demonstrated are possible and cost-effective options that could continue post-pandemic.

Summary of status and trends
With only five years remaining to 2015, there are signs of progress in many countries in achieving the
health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In other countries, progress has been limited
because of conflict, poor governance, economic or humanitarian crises, and lack of resources. The
effects of the global food, energy, financial and economic crises on health are still unfolding, and action
is needed to protect the health spending of governments and donors alike.
Undernutrition is an underlying cause in about one third of all child deaths. Over the past year,
rising food prices coupled with falling incomes have increased the risk of malnutrition, especially
among children. Although the percentage of children under 5 years of age who are underweight
(compared to the WHO Child Growth Standards3) declined globally from 25% in 1990 to 18% in
2005, subsequent progress has been uneven. In some countries, the prevalence of undernutrition has
increased, and worldwide stunted growth still affected about 186 million children under 5 years of age
in 2005.
Globally, child mortality continues to fall. In 2008, the total annual number of deaths in children
under 5 years old fell to 8.8 million – down by 30% from the 12.4 million estimated in 1990.
Mortality in children under 5 years old in 2008 was estimated at 65 per 1000 live births, which is
a 27% reduction from 90 per 1000 live births in 1990 (Figure 1). Recent encouraging trends also
indicate an acceleration of the rate of decline in all regions since 2000 (Table 1).
WHO region 1990–1999 2000–2008
African Region 0.9 1.8
Region of the Americas 4.2 4.6
South-East Asia Region 2.5 3.8
European Region 3.6 5.6

Western Pacific Region 2.5 5.7
GLOBAL 1.2 2.3

1990–1999 and 2000–2008

Despite these encouraging trends, regional and national averages mask considerable inequities.
The greatest reductions in child mortality have been recorded among the wealthiest households and
in urban areas. Concerted efforts will be needed to achieve the MDG target of a 67% reduction from
1990 levels by the year 2015, especially in countries facing economic crises or conflicts. Low-income
countries would need to increase their annual average rate of decline from 1.9% to 10.9% in order to
achieve the target. Reducing child mortality increasingly depen.
TPJ haiti article
Haiti has the highest rates of child, neonatal, and maternal mortality in the Western Hemisphere. In 2013, Haiti's neonatal mortality rate was 25 per 1000 live births, infant mortality rate was 55 per 1000 live births, and child mortality rate for those under 5 was 73 per 1000. The maternal mortality ratio in Haiti was 380 per 100,000 live births in 2013. The authors identify poverty, preterm birth, low birth weight, lack of access to care for pneumonia and antibiotics, and complications during childbirth as key contributing factors to these high mortality rates in Haiti. They propose establishing a network of community care and a central referral hospital to improve access to evidence-based interventions and reduce mortality rates.
PAHO/WHO Briefing Session to OAS Permanent Council
This document provides summaries of several presentations and reports to be given at the 148th Session of the Executive Committee of the Pan American Health Organization in Washington D.C. from June 20-24, 2011. It outlines the member states of various committees and groups, proposed program and budget scenarios for 2012-2013, and summaries of strategic plans and actions on topics like urban health, climate change, road safety, and others.
Final Draft (1)
1. The document discusses infant mortality rates in the United States, particularly disparities between African American and white populations. While infant mortality has declined overall, the U.S. rate lags behind other developed nations. African American infants die at more than twice the rate of white infants.
2. Many factors contribute to higher infant mortality among African Americans, including socioeconomic status, environmental and genetic interactions, and policies around maternity leave. Despite research, the exact causes of racial disparities remain unknown.
3. The presentation focuses on how these factors may impact outcomes for African American infants, seeking to explain why this population experiences greater infant loss in the U.S. compared to immigrant black groups from the same regions.
COVID-19 Fact Base and Potential Implications for Brazil - Short
This document provides an overview and analysis of the COVID-19 situation and economic impact in Brazil as of June 26, 2020. It finds that Brazil is experiencing a long plateau period of the virus with most states in a "control zone" of stable growth and ICU occupancy under 60-70%. Going forward, it expects Brazil to follow an "opening and closing" scenario of intermittent suppression measures to control spread as immunity is developed. The economic impact is projected to be high for most industries and services, with agriculture being less impacted.
Levels and Trends in Child Malnutrition - UNICEF, WHO, Worldbank - 2014
UNICEF, WHO and the World Bank released an updated joint dataset on child malnutrition indicators (stunting, wasting, severe wasting, overweight and underweight) and new global & regional estimates for 2013 with 95% confidence intervals in September 2014 through an interactive dashboard.
Some selected findings:
- 161 million children are stunted, down from 257 million in 1990.
- Undernutrition contributes to half of all deaths in children under 5 and is widespread in Asia and Africa.
- Boys are more likely to be stunted than girls in most countries.
- 43 million children under 5 are overweight globally (as of 2011), a 54% increase from 1990
Levels and trends in child malnutrition
Globally in 2013, 161 million children under 5 were stunted, 51 million were wasted, and 42 million were overweight. The prevalence of stunting and underweight has decreased since 2000 but trends are rising for overweight. Over half of stunted children live in Asia while over 1/3 live in Africa. For wasting, about 2/3 live in Asia and 1/3 in Africa. The report provides details on methodology, data sources, and interactive dashboards containing malnutrition estimates from 1990-2013.

This document provides summaries of MDG country reports from 11 Latin American countries, analyzing the extent to which each report addresses indigenous peoples' issues. The summaries find that while some reports provide good regional data disaggregation, most do not adequately discuss indigenous peoples' specific situations or propose targeted interventions. Only Argentina's report mentions programs for indigenous communities, focusing on tuberculosis. In general, the reports show room for improvement in including indigenous perspectives and ensuring no groups are left behind in achieving the MDGs.
The Dtm
The document discusses the demographic transition model (DTM) and how it relates to population structures in less economically developed countries (LEDCs) and more economically developed countries (MEDCs). The DTM describes changes in birth and death rates over time and shows countries pass through 5 stages of population change. The DTM can be used to identify what stage a country is in based on its population pyramid. While most MEDCs have passed through all stages, taking around 200 years, many LEDCs are still in stages 2 or 3 of rapid population growth, moving through the stages more quickly due to policies and medical aid.
CDade-GraduateIntern-IDPH-OWHFS-MaternalMortality-FinalReport
As a part of my contribution to Illinois’s Maternal Mortality review process, I was tasked to investigate the maternal mortality review committees, related literature, and other related reports of 26 states, plus Washington D.C. and Illinois. The goal of this project was to give my supervisors and IDPH staff an overview of what has worked, what isn’t working in terms of maternal mortality reduction recommendations in other states. In addition to including incidence rates, racial breakdowns, and other markers, I examined the methods that states used to present their maternal mortality data. The latter refers to graphics selections, terminology, and other creative considerations that might have been used to impact a reader’s connection and understanding of the issue in a state’s report.
It is important to acknowledge that not every state had an existing report. Furthermore, in my analysis I found that even for states with existing maternal mortality review committees, reports were not always readily accessible online. Moreover, every state with an existing review committee do not always have a list of recommendations. Therefore, the following summaries are a couple of examples from my complete 26 state analysis, featured on the states of Louisiana, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Ohio, as they were able to provide a direct list of official recommendations.

health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In other countries, progress has been limited
because of conflict, poor governance, economic or humanitarian crises, and lack of resources. The
effects of the global food, energy, financial and economic crises on health are still unfolding, and action
is needed to protect the health spending of governments and donors alike.
Undernutrition is an underlying cause in about one third of all child deaths. Over the past year,
rising food prices coupled with falling incomes have increased the risk of malnutrition, especially
among children. Although the percentage of children under 5 years of age who are underweight
(compared to the WHO Child Growth Standards3) declined globally from 25% in 1990 to 18% in
2005, subsequent progress has been uneven. In some countries, the prevalence of undernutrition has
increased, and worldwide stunted growth still affected about 186 million children under 5 years of age
in 2005.
Globally, child mortality continues to fall. In 2008, the total annual number of deaths in children
under 5 years old fell to 8.8 million – down by 30% from the 12.4 million estimated in 1990.
Mortality in children under 5 years old in 2008 was estimated at 65 per 1000 live births, which is
a 27% reduction from 90 per 1000 live births in 1990 (Figure 1). Recent encouraging trends also
indicate an acceleration of the rate of decline in all regions since 2000 (Table 1).
WHO region 1990–1999 2000–2008
African Region 0.9 1.8
Region of the Americas 4.2 4.6
South-East Asia Region 2.5 3.8
European Region 3.6 5.6
Eastern Mediterranean Region 1.5 1.7
Western Pacific Region 2.5 5.7
GLOBAL 1.2 2.3
Table 1: Average annual rate of decline (%) in mortality in children under 5 years old –
1990–1999 and 2000–2008

Despite these encouraging trends, regional and national averages mask considerable inequities.
The greatest reductions in child mortality have been recorded among the wealthiest households and
in urban areas. Concerted efforts will be needed to achieve the MDG target of a 67% reduction from
1990 levels by the year 2015, especially in countries facing economic crises or conflicts. Low-income
countries would need to increase their annual average rate of decline from 1.9% to 10.9% in order to
achieve the target. Reducing child mortality increasingly depen.
TPJ haiti article
Haiti has the highest rates of child, neonatal, and maternal mortality in the Western Hemisphere. In 2013, Haiti's neonatal mortality rate was 25 per 1000 live births, infant mortality rate was 55 per 1000 live births, and child mortality rate for those under 5 was 73 per 1000. The maternal mortality ratio in Haiti was 380 per 100,000 live births in 2013. The authors identify poverty, preterm birth, low birth weight, lack of access to care for pneumonia and antibiotics, and complications during childbirth as key contributing factors to these high mortality rates in Haiti. They propose establishing a network of community care and a central referral hospital to improve access to evidence-based interventions and reduce mortality rates.
PAHO/WHO Briefing Session to OAS Permanent Council
This document provides summaries of several presentations and reports to be given at the 148th Session of the Executive Committee of the Pan American Health Organization in Washington D.C. from June 20-24, 2011. It outlines the member states of various committees and groups, proposed program and budget scenarios for 2012-2013, and summaries of strategic plans and actions on topics like urban health, climate change, road safety, and others.
Final Draft (1)
1. The document discusses infant mortality rates in the United States, particularly disparities between African American and white populations. While infant mortality has declined overall, the U.S. rate lags behind other developed nations. African American infants die at more than twice the rate of white infants.
2. Many factors contribute to higher infant mortality among African Americans, including socioeconomic status, environmental and genetic interactions, and policies around maternity leave. Despite research, the exact causes of racial disparities remain unknown.
3. The presentation focuses on how these factors may impact outcomes for African American infants, seeking to explain why this population experiences greater infant loss in the U.S. compared to immigrant black groups from the same regions.
COVID-19 Fact Base and Potential Implications for Brazil - Short
This document provides an overview and analysis of the COVID-19 situation and economic impact in Brazil as of June 26, 2020. It finds that Brazil is experiencing a long plateau period of the virus with most states in a "control zone" of stable growth and ICU occupancy under 60-70%. Going forward, it expects Brazil to follow an "opening and closing" scenario of intermittent suppression measures to control spread as immunity is developed. The economic impact is projected to be high for most industries and services, with agriculture being less impacted.
Levels and Trends in Child Malnutrition - UNICEF, WHO, Worldbank - 2014
UNICEF, WHO and the World Bank released an updated joint dataset on child malnutrition indicators (stunting, wasting, severe wasting, overweight and underweight) and new global & regional estimates for 2013 with 95% confidence intervals in September 2014 through an interactive dashboard.
Some selected findings:
- 161 million children are stunted, down from 257 million in 1990.
- Undernutrition contributes to half of all deaths in children under 5 and is widespread in Asia and Africa.
- Boys are more likely to be stunted than girls in most countries.
- 43 million children under 5 are overweight globally (as of 2011), a 54% increase from 1990
Levels and trends in child malnutrition
Globally in 2013, 161 million children under 5 were stunted, 51 million were wasted, and 42 million were overweight. The prevalence of stunting and underweight has decreased since 2000 but trends are rising for overweight. Over half of stunted children live in Asia while over 1/3 live in Africa. For wasting, about 2/3 live in Asia and 1/3 in Africa. The report provides details on methodology, data sources, and interactive dashboards containing malnutrition estimates from 1990-2013.
Mdg rs 2007
This document provides summaries of MDG country reports from 11 Latin American countries, analyzing the extent to which each report addresses indigenous peoples' issues. The summaries find that while some reports provide good regional data disaggregation, most do not adequately discuss indigenous peoples' specific situations or propose targeted interventions. Only Argentina's report mentions programs for indigenous communities, focusing on tuberculosis. In general, the reports show room for improvement in including indigenous perspectives and ensuring no groups are left behind in achieving the MDGs.
The Dtm
The document discusses the demographic transition model (DTM) and how it relates to population structures in less economically developed countries (LEDCs) and more economically developed countries (MEDCs). The DTM describes changes in birth and death rates over time and shows countries pass through 5 stages of population change. The DTM can be used to identify what stage a country is in based on its population pyramid. While most MEDCs have passed through all stages, taking around 200 years, many LEDCs are still in stages 2 or 3 of rapid population growth, moving through the stages more quickly due to policies and medical aid.
CDade-GraduateIntern-IDPH-OWHFS-MaternalMortality-FinalReport
As a part of my contribution to Illinois’s Maternal Mortality review process, I was tasked to investigate the maternal mortality review committees, related literature, and other related reports of 26 states, plus Washington D.C. and Illinois. The goal of this project was to give my supervisors and IDPH staff an overview of what has worked, what isn’t working in terms of maternal mortality reduction recommendations in other states. In addition to including incidence rates, racial breakdowns, and other markers, I examined the methods that states used to present their maternal mortality data. The latter refers to graphics selections, terminology, and other creative considerations that might have been used to impact a reader’s connection and understanding of the issue in a state’s report.
It is important to acknowledge that not every state had an existing report. Furthermore, in my analysis I found that even for states with existing maternal mortality review committees, reports were not always readily accessible online. Moreover, every state with an existing review committee do not always have a list of recommendations. Therefore, the following summaries are a couple of examples from my complete 26 state analysis, featured on the states of Louisiana, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Ohio, as they were able to provide a direct list of official recommendations.
