These data were collected as part of the Population Health Metrics Research Consortium (PHMRC) project. The files contain verbal autopsies (VAs) that were collected at six sites in four countries (India, Mexico, Tanzania, and the Philippines) using a standardized VA questionnaire developed by the PHMRC. The three datasets correspond to the main questionnaire subcomponents: neonate, child, and adult. The individual VAs are matched with "gold standard" diagnoses of underlying causes of death, which were established from medical records using stringent diagnostic criteria, including laboratory, pathology and medical imaging findings. All "open narrative" portions of the VAs were parsed for individual words or stems, which are included as variables in the final dataset, to remove any potentially identifying information in that portion of the interview. Variables that were analyzed as "health care experience" in past research are identified in the codebook.

This is a complete time series for life expectancy from 1987 to 2007 for all US counties, and released as part of IHME research published in Population Health Metrics. The study, "Falling behind: life expectancy in US counties from 2000 to 2007 in an international context," was published June 15, 2011. Results show large disparities nationwide.
Note: The 3,141 US counties were merged into 2,357 clusters for this research. This was done to account for changes in county definitions over time and low death counts in some counties. Counties with fewer than 7,000 males or 7,000 females were joined with neighboring counties in the same state of similar size, income, and percent of population reported as black or Native American until the cutoff was met. Within the dataset, counties in the same cluster will have the same results.
