Unregistered births, deaths blight Kenya s planning credentials

Unregistered births, deaths blight Kenya’s planning credentials Monday March 01 2021 Summary Recent estimations by the World Bank show that about half of the world’s population live in countries where causes of death are normally partially recorded and are of limited use. It notes that correct reporting of cause of death is particularly difficult in developing countries where many deaths occur at home without medical care or certification. Contrastingly, in high income countries, this information is routinely available from death registration records, which are part of their civil registration systems (CRS). With billions of shillings pumped into development programmes annually, tracking the impact of such resources on the country’s overall development is critical.

Changes in Suicide Rates — United States, 2018–2019

What is already known about this topic? Suicide is preventable. In 2019, approximately 47,500 lives were attributed to suicide. From 2018 to 2019, the suicide rate declined for the first time in more than a decade. What is added by this report? Suicide rates declined overall by 2.1%, among females by 3.2%, and among males by 1.8%, as well as in five states, certain demographic groups, and by certain mechanisms of suicide; however, disparities persist. What are the implications for public health practice? To build on 2019 progress, CDC’s Preventing Suicide: A Technical Package of Policy, Programs, and Practices supports a comprehensive approach to prevention. Implementing such an approach, especially in disproportionately affected populations (e.g., American Indian/Alaska Natives), is needed in all states.

The Lancet Public Health: Jail incarceration strongly linked with several causes of premature death in US counties /p

County jail incarceration rates in the USA are potential drivers of many causes of death in the communities where they are located, with particularly pronounced effects on the number of deaths caused by infectious and respiratory diseases, drug overdose, and suicide, according to a long-term analysis of jail incarceration and county-level mortality across 1,094 counties between 1987 and 2017, published in The Lancet Public Health journal.
