This module forms part of a course on the analysis and use of vital statistics and is available in English, Français, Português, and Español.
During Module 3, participants will understand how low-quality data can adversely affect the accuracy of vital statistics. The module reviews methods (both direct and indirect) on estimating the completeness of birth and death registration and how to assess the plausibility of mortality measures. Participants will also learn about the importance of high-quality cause-of-death data and how this data can be assessed, using tools such as ANACoD3 or ANACONDA.
