Course Description This course is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of demographic analysis on the subject of mortality.  Mortality indictors such as child mortality rate, adult mortality rate, maternal mortality rate, infant mortality rate, and life expectancy are routinely being used in public health and often used as key benchmark in evaluating public health programs. Thus, it is essential for public health practitioners to understand how these mortality indictors are constructed and how to properly utilize them.  This course provides a thorough overview of conceptual, methodological and empirical basis for quantifying health among individuals and populations. Students of this course will learn the strength and limitation in applying the mortality analysis methods introduced in this course especially in developing countries with limited empirical data.

APPLICATION DEADLINE:  FEBRUARY 11, 2013 at 12 noon (PST)

The IPE fee is covered by the fellowship. Graduate students in fee-based programs are not eligible to apply. No extra money is included for airfare.

• Clear statement of the research and/or study that will be done on the fellowship;
• evidence of the relationship between the proposed study/research and the applicant’s academic program;
• evidence of the necessity to go overseas to conduct the study/research and the relevance of the university or locale to the planned research (including evidence of affiliation, if required or appropriate, to carry out the proposed project); and
• evidence of appropriate language competence.
