Data file: country_mortality
This file reports the same adult mortality estimates as in file survey_mortality, but averages the estimates for the same country and period from different rounds of the DHS. The weights used to average across survey rounds are the inverse of the variance of each estimate, so that more precise estimates are given more weight. This second database only includes the "adjusted" mortality estimates (the ones we use in our analysis) but also includes the national level social and economic indicators that we use in the analysis. Note that this database includes countries for which we do not have adult mortality estimates, but for which we have under-5 mortality.
