"This sixth edition...provides
information collected in mid-1993 on the availability of selected
national vital, hospital, health manpower resources, and
population-based health survey statistics. Information for the 40
nations included in this guide was obtained from the government and
official agencies that are listed in the guide for further reference.
The main purpose of the guide is to provide information not readily
available in published form. It is not designed to provide information
on the availability of measures considered universally documented, such
as crude birth and death rates or life expectancy at birth. A secondary
purpose is to support the World Health Organization's goal of
developing a common basis for international data comparison. An
addition to expand the information provided on national
population-based health surveys is in this edition. A profile of each
survey is included, citing the title, responsible agency or ministry,
objective, scope, collection method, data content, frequency,
availability of data, and the contact agency for further information.
Also included is a matrix of the data variables from the
surveys."
