Estimating under-five mortality using household survey data: Challenges and opportunities
Abstract: Full birth histories (FBH) obtained in household surveys are used in many lower and middle-income countries to estimate under-five mortality and child health indicators, which drive decisions about health programs and investments in these countries. Yet, prior studies of cross-sectional FBH suggest these data are prone to significant measurement error. In this presentation, Dr. Treleaven presents insights from a household panel survey that collected repeated FBH from the same women over time, including patterns and predictors of poor data quality, as well as a new measure with the potential to reduce error in mortality estimates.
Bio: Emily Treleaven is a Research Assistant Professor in the Survey Research Center at the U-M Institute for Social Research, and a Faculty Associate of the Population Studies Center. Her work examines how family and community context shape health outcomes and disparities in early childhood, and how families make decisions for young children’s health, particularly when facing economic insecurity. In other projects, she evaluates interventions related to newborn and child health. Across her work, Dr. Treleaven is interested in developing and testing innovative survey measures to improve measurement of health and mortality in early childhood.
