Examination of this mortality distributions lets us assess the<br />

contribution of several groups of factors and see more clearly the<br />

potential impact of interventions oriented towards one or another<br />

mortality category.<br />

In the following analysis only peri and neonatal mortality<br />

cases are considered; maternal mortality is not subject to<br />

inferential statistical analysis.<br />

Its descriptive analysis is<br />

presented elsewhere.<br />

2. Data about the communities where the cases and controls<br />

resided<br />

The following are sets of selected data that give us relevant<br />

information about the DJC project's activities and about the<br />

development of interventions for the reduction of perinatal,<br />

neonatal and maternal mortality rates.
