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.
