Child Mortality Estimation: Methods Used to Adjust for Bias due to AIDS in Estimating Trends in Under-Five Mortality

Neff Walker and colleagues show how the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation use a model to correct for AIDS-related biases in the data used to estimate trends in under-five mortality.
