Why this Database?

There are wide geographic variations in health indicators of maternal, newborn and child

health (MNCH) worldwide. These variations are determined by the characteristics of the populations and the social environment of the different countries in which they live.

Ecologic studies (i.e., using countries as units of analysis) are helpful in establishing associations between health indicators and potential determinants of global health. This database, although not exhaustive, compiles many of the most relevant MNCH indicators and their determinants at the country level.

This database can also be used to explore whether the characteristics of the different countries of the world are related to the characteristics and health outcomes of their migrants settling in different destination countries. Using the Database

For an overview of the indicators in the database, open the Legends tab, where you will find the indicator codes used, a quick description of each indicator, the data source, the number of countries with a value for each indicator, and the hyperlinks to the original data source.

On each data sheet of the database, each indicator is displayed using its code. The first part of the code refers to the data source (i.e. UN, WHO, etc.), and the last part of each code refers to, if applicable, the year the data for that particular variable was taken. Otherwise, all data was retrieved by their respective sources in 2013.

Indicators were chosen on the basis of its potential relevance to MNCH for immigrant populations in Canada.
