  2. Purpose • To measure infant and under-5 mortality rates • To determine if any live births within the last 2 years – whether the next two modules will be asked.

  3. Goal 1 - WSC • Between 1990 and the year 2000, reduction of infant and under-five child mortality rate by one third or to 50 and 70 per 1000 live births respectively, whichever is less

  4. Goal 4 - MDG • Reduce by two-thirds, between 1990 and 2015, under-five mortality • Indicator 13 – Under-5 Mortality Rate • Indicator 14 – Infant Mortality Rate

  5. Information Collected in the Module • Date of/years since first birth (CM2A, CM2B) • Numbers of children ever born, children alive, children dead (CM3 to CM10) • Date of last live birth (CM11) • Wantedness status of last birth (CM13)

  6. Estimation of Infant and Under-5 Mortality Rates • Indirect estimation method used • Devised by William Brass in the late 1950s, commonly used in surveys and censuses around the world • Indirect estimation method, but gives reliable results usually consistent with direct estimation • Direct estimation in surveys: use of birth or maternity histories

  7. Estimation of Infant and Under-5 Mortality Rates • Method will give biased estimates if HIV/AIDS prevalence is more than 5 percent • Results not as detailed as those from birth histories (neonatal rates etc) • Make sure that the assumptions used are applicable to the country (eg choice of mortality model)

  8. Estimation of Infant and Under-5 Mortality Rates • Variants: By age of women, by time since first marriage, by time since first birth • The idea is to calculate average numbers of children ever born and children deceased, and calculate proportion deceased • Using proportion deceased and models, estimate infant and under-5 mortality rates

  9. Estimation of Infant and Under-5 Mortality Rates • Estimated rates will refer to 1-4 years before the survey on the average, depending on the variant of the method used

  10. Input Data

  11. Documents on method to be posted at childinfo.org • Plan to provide more detailed documentation • QFive program to be provided to countries to calculate the rates
