These IHME results are from the paper, "Public financing of health in developing countries: a cross-national systematic analysis," published in The Lancet in April 2010. This dataset provides estimates on domestically financed government health expenditures in developing countries and development assistance for health (DAH) to governmental and non-governmental recipients from 1995 to 2006.

This database includes development assistance for health (DAH) estimates based on data project databases, financial statements, annual reports, IRS 990s, and correspondences with agencies.

It enables estimation of the DAH envelope (disbursements and expenditures), trends in by global health institutions, and trends in DAH by source of income.

Graphing and additional use information are available in the "IHME_DAH_DATABASE_1990_2008_CODE.txt" file.

2011 update available here.

IHME results, published in November 2010, provide a global assessment of trends in development assistance for health (DAH) from 1990 to 2008 and preliminary estimates for 2009 and 2010. The report, Financing Global Health 2010: Development Assistance and Country Spending in Economic Uncertainty, compiles contributions by all significant public and private channels of development assistance for improving health outcomes and strengthening health systems in low- and middle-income countries.

This survey was conducted as part of the Gavi Full Country Evaluation (FCE) project in Uganda. Gavi FCEs are prospective studies covering the period 2013-2016 that aim to assess the barriers to and drivers of immunization program performance. The Uganda FCE Household Survey was conducted in 19 districts purposely selected to overlap with districts where the FCE Health Facility Survey was conducted in 2014-2015. The initial sample size for the household survey was 3,990 households. Data were collected from heads of households and mothers and/or primary caregivers of children ages 0-59 months. Topics covered include household characteristics, immunization knowledge, birth histories of mothers and child caretakers, pregnancy and postnatal care, child feeding practices, current health and vaccine status of the child, and vaccination experience at health facilities. In a sub-sample of children, a small amount of blood was collected in order to measure vaccine presence.

This survey was conducted as part of the Gavi Full Country Evaluation (FCE) project in Uganda. Gavi FCEs are prospective studies covering the period 2013-2016 that aim to assess the barriers to and drivers of immunization program performance. The Uganda FCE was conducted in 19 districts purposely selected to overlap with those where a baseline facility survey for the Access, Bottlenecks, Costs, and Equity (ABCE) Project in Uganda was performed. The districts provide a geographically and demographically representative sample of Uganda’s health system. For the FCE Health Facility Survey, data on financing, staffing, facility procedures and guidelines, vaccine stocks, and supply delivery (including cold chain temperature measurements) were collected from a representative sample of 177 health facilities. Data were collected through interviews of health providers, direct observation of facility areas, and assisted observation of immunization sessions.

IHME research produced estimates for age-standardized mortality rates by county from chronic respiratory diseases. The estimates were generated using de-identified death records from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS); population counts from the U.S. Census Bureau, NCHS, and the Human Mortality Database; the cause list from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD); and the application of small area estimation models. This dataset provides estimates for age-standardized mortality rates by disease type and sex at the county level for each state, the District of Columbia, and the United States as a whole for 1980-2014, as well as the changes in rates for each location during this period. Also included are data on the 10 counties with the highest and lowest mortality rates for each disease type in 2014. Study results were published in JAMA in September 2017 in "Trends and patterns of differences in chronic respiratory disease mortality among US counties, 1980–2014."

IHME research produced estimates for life expectancy and cause-specific mortality at the census tract level for King County, Washington, for 1990-2014. The estimates were generated using death registration data from the Center for Health Statistics, Washington State Department of Health; population counts by age group, sex, and census tract from the Washington State Office of Financial Management; the cause list developed for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015; and the application of small area estimation models. This dataset, downloadable via the "Files" tab above, provides estimates for life expectancy at birth, mortality rates, and years of life lost rates for 152 causes of death by age and sex for 397 census tracts. Results of the study were published in The Lancet Public Health in September 2017 in "Variation in life expectancy and mortality by cause among neighbourhoods in King County, WA, USA, 1990–2014: a census tract-level analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015."

This survey was conducted as part of the Gavi Full Country Evaluation (FCE) project in Bangladesh. Gavi FCEs are prospective studies covering the period 2013-2016 that aim to assess the barriers to and drivers of immunization program performance. The Bangladesh FCE focused on selected locations stratified by urban/rural and low/high immunization coverage performance areas. It was conducted in one rural district and one city corporation each in the divisions of Sylhet and Rajshahi. This survey collected information from patient exit interviews conducted with caregivers of children 9 months to 15 years of age immediately following their measles-rubella vaccination. Topics covered include sociodemographic characteristics of the caretaker; patient experiences at the facility; patient opinions of the experience; and knowledge, attitudes and practice regarding measles and rubella immunizations, as well as knowledge of measles and rubella symptoms, prevention, and treatment.

This reference life table is used in GBD to calculate Years of Life Lost (YLLs). It was constructed based on the lowest estimated age-specific mortality rates from all locations with populations over 5 million in the 2013 iteration of GBD. YLLs are computed by multiplying the number of estimated deaths by the reference life table’s life expectancy at age of death. The table includes estimates for the probability of death within an age range, the proportion of the hypothetical cohort still alive at age x, and life expectancy at age x for ages 0 to 110+ at five-year intervals.

Developed by GBD researchers and used to help produce these estimates, the Socio-demographic Index (SDI) is a summary measure of a geography's socio-demographic development. It is based on average income per person, educational attainment, and total fertility rate (TFR). SDI contains an interpretable scale: zero represents the lowest income per capita, lowest educational attainment, and highest TFR observed across all GBD geographies from 1980 to 2015, and one represents the highest income per capita, highest educational attainment, and lowest TFR. This dataset provides tables with SDI values for all estimated GBD 2015 geographies for 1980–2015 and groupings by geography based on 2015 values.

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors globally, for 21 regions, and for 188 countries. The files available for download include the tables published in The Lancet in September 2015 in "Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks in 188 countries, 1990–2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013." These tables include population attributable fractions (PAFs) for 2013 and estimates of deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 1990 and 2013 attributable to each risk factor. Estimates of deaths and DALYs for 1990 and 2013 attributable to each risk-outcome pair can be found in the web tables.

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors globally, for 21 regions, and for 188 countries. The files available for download include the tables published in The Lancet in August 2015 in "Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 306 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (HALE) for 188 countries, 1990–2013: quantifying the epidemiological transition." These tables include estimates of DALYs by country and cause and HALE by country and sex for 1990, 2005, and 2013. 

This dataset contains estimates of maternal and child health (MCH) indicators in Nigeria at the state and national levels. These estimates were produced by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) by using multiple data sources and applying complex modeling approaches. Trend estimates in this dataset include under-5 mortality, indicators of childhood nutrition (prevalence of underweight, stunting, and wasting among children under 5), and a range of MCH interventions including malaria control, childhood immunizations, and other key MCH interventions such as skilled birth attendance, exclusive breastfeeding, and prevalence of modern contraceptive use.

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors globally, for 21 regions, and for 188 countries. The files available for download include the tables published in JAMA Oncology in May 2015 in "The Global Burden of Cancer 2013," and additional tables available from IHME's website. These tables include estimates of cancer incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) globally and by country in 1990 and 2013. 

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors globally, for 21 regions, and for 188 countries. The files available for download include the tables published in The Lancet in June 2015 in "Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 301 acute and chronic diseases and injuries in 188 countries, 1990–2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013." These tables include estimates of incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) by country, age, cause, and sequelae in 1990 and 2013. 

These are IHME results data from a global analysis of educational attainment spanning the last 50 years. These data are an update to earlier estimates (Educational Attainment and Child Mortality Estimates by Country 1970-2009) and inform the policy report "A Hand Up: Global Progress Towards Universal Education," as well as the Social Determinants of Health Visualization, which is supported by the Center for Health Trends and Forecasts at IHME.

This data file provides estimates of average years of educational attainment per capita for people over the age of 15 for the years 1970-2015 by year, sex, and age group for 188 countries, 21 GBD regions, 7 GBD super regions, and the global aggregate. Age-standardized and population-weighted estimates are included for females 15-44 and for both sexes for the age group 25+.

The Access, Bottlenecks, Costs, and Equity (ABCE) project is a multipronged and multicountry research collaboration focused on understanding what drives and hinders health service provision. Three datasets resulting from the ABCE project in Zambia are available for download: results of a nationally representative facility survey which gathered information on services offered, expenditure, revenue, personnel by category, and other variables related to facility operations; data collected in patient exit interviews conducted after patients visited facilities in the ABCE sample; and information extracted from the charts of HIV-positive patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Clinical chart extraction data and patient exit interview data can be linked to facility-level information from the ABCE Facility Survey.
