• Description:
  In an earlier note, the value and limitations of mortality data as measures of the health status of a community were discussed. The purpose of this Sixth Note is to extend that discussion and deal specifically with the usefulness to health planners of mortality statistics by cause of death. Specific precautions that the planner should keep in mind in using data of this kind are described, and some ways of analyzing cause-of-death data to improve their relevance to the health planner’s concerns are suggested.
