Annual estimates of contraceptive use and need for family planning were produced for 204 countries and territories from 1970–2019. Data used came from cross-sectional surveys that sampled women ages 15-49 in which respondents self-reported contraceptive use. This dataset includes annual estimates by location, age group, and marital status for any and modern contraceptive prevalence, unmet need for any contraception, and demand satisfied with modern methods. Additionally, prevalence was estimated for 15 contraceptive methods. If a women reported using more than one method, only the most effective method was counted. Due to small sample sizes of partnered and unpartnered women in some locations, only all age and age-standardized estimates (ages 15-49) are provided with marital breakdowns.

Estimates were produced for mortality rates, life expectancy, and population at the state level in the United States, and by racial/ethnic group, for each year between 1990-2019. These estimates were produced using population and deaths data from the National Center for Health Statistics.

This dataset includes the following:

• CSV files of state-, and national-level estimates of mortality rates and life expectancy for each age group, sex, year, and racial-ethnic group (non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic, Other). Blank cells are for masked estimates
• Code used to generate the estimates

These development assistance for human resources for health (DAHRH) estimates are generated using data from IHME’s Development Assistance for health Database DAH, COVID development assistance database and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Creditor Reporting System (CRS) online database. The IHME databases enables comprehensive analysis of donor funding aimed towards activities that support the health workforce in low- and middle-income countries from key agencies. The DAHRH estimates are disaggregated by source of funds, channel (disbursing agency) of funding, geographic region (Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) super region), and the type of human resources for health activities supported (program areas).

This dataset contains estimates on the cost-effectiveness of HPV vaccination in 195 countries. The probability that HPV vaccination was cost-saving in each country was predicted using a logistic regression model, and is reported by incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). Data used to produce the estimates came from 638 ICERs reported in 76 studies from the Tufts University’s Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) Registry and the Global Health CEA Registry.

The COVID-19 Health Services Disruption Survey 2020 is a series of surveys developed to assess the level of disruption to a range of health services resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent government mandates and changes in behavior to mitigate the spread of the disease.

The IPSOS General Population COVID-19 Health Services Disruption Survey 2020 was conducted by IPSOS via telephone and online surveys in 14 countries. Respondents were individual members of the general population. Data were collected from 15,258 respondents. The survey focused on the level of disruption to the provision of general health services, including visits to medical providers and access to medication.

This survey was developed specifically to assess the change in levels of service delivery prior to, and immediately following, the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Data generated from this survey are not intended to be used as an overall estimate of the level of health service delivery.

This dataset contains estimates for deaths and years of life lost (YLLs) attributable to non-optimal temperature exposure (including high temperature, low temperature, and the aggregate non-optimal temperature risk) for 204 countries, Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) regions and super regions, and globally for the years 1990, 2010, and 2010. These estimates inform a paper published in The Lancet in August 2021 titled “Estimating the cause-specific relative risks of non-optimal temperature on daily mortality: a two-part modelling approach applied to the Global Burden of Disease Study.”

The study Health Behavior among Estonian Adult Population has been conducted every two years since 1990. A sample of 5,000 Estonian residents ages 16-64 years were selected from the Population Register and were sent a survey questionnaire through the mail. Additionally, county samples were included (n=7400) to analyze health indicators for the 15 counties and two largest city divisions in Estonia.

The questionnaire collected information on the participants' health status, use of health services and medications, physical activity, smoking and alcohol use, dietary habits, and demographic information. 

This dataset contains retrospective estimates for healthcare spending attributable to dementia for 195 countries from 2000 to 2019 and prospective spending estimates from 2020 to 2050 under multiple scenarios. Intermediate and final estimates are provided. Intermediate estimates include community based care rate (CBC), nursing home based care rate (NHBC), community based care unit cost, and nursing home based care unit cost. Final estimates are attributable dementia spending. All spending is reported in 2019 United States dollars. Future estimates report the same model outputs as those reported in the retrospective model but include both reference and alternative scenarios based on accelerated care setting rates and units costs.

Estimates of smoking prevalence among young people ages 15 to 24 and age of smoking initiation were produced by sex and year for 204 countries and territories for 1990-2019. Files available in this record include estimates of the prevalence of smoking among young people, mean age of initiation, and quantiles from the distribution of initiation age. Study results were published in The Lancet Public Health in May 2021 in "Spatial, temporal, and demographic patterns in smoking prevalence and initiation among young people in 204 countries and territories, 1990-2019."

The Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Population and Vital Statistics Report 2016 presents figures on population, live births, stillbirths, registered deaths, underlying cause of death, marriages, and divorces.

Data presented have been collected by the country's Registry Department and have been calculated by its Statistical Office. Figures on population totals come from the decennial Population and Housing Census.

The sample for the 2019 Turkmenistan MICS was designed to provide estimates for a large number of indicators on the situation of children and women at the national level, for urban and rural areas, and for 6 regions: Ashgabat city, Akhal, Balkan, Dashoguz, Lebap and Mary velayats. The urban and rural areas within each region were identified as the main sampling strata and the sample of households was selected in two stages.

Four questionnaires were used in the survey: 1) a household questionnaire to collect basic demographic information on all de jure household members, the household, and the dwelling; 2) a questionnaire for individual women administered in each household to all women age 15-49 years; 3) an under-5 questionnaire, administered to mothers (or caretakers); and 4) a questionnaire for children age 5-17 years, administered to the mother (or caretaker) of one randomly selected child age 5-17 years living in the household.
