Mortality, Injury and Disability Survey

Country: Afghanistan Flag: Status: Past

Dates: Start: August 2002 End: November 2002

Donor: CDC International Emergency and Refugee Health Branch

iMMAP conducted a survey of Afghanistan to collect and study data concerning mortality, injury, and disability. The effort examined overall mortality for a period of approximately 19 months before the start of the survey. Detailed data, including proportional mortality related to injury and non-injury causes, risk factor information related to physical violence, suicide, small arms, and landmine/unexploded ordnance (UXO) injuries, were collected for injuries and deaths that occurred during the survey period. In addition, the survey collected data that allowed estimates of disability prevalence.
