On 1 March 2013, BAPH organises a workshop on mortality data. During this day, public health researchers and other professionals confronted with mortality data can interact with their colleagues and contribute to the improvement of the production and the use of these data.Format
The workshop is divided in two parts:- In the morning, mortality data production will be discussed, focusing on the cause of mortality.
- One goal is to create insight into the production chain of the data and the decision-making process used in certification.
- Another is to give an overview of the measures taken to improve the data and to discuss the assessment of data quality.
- Finally, strengths and weaknesses will be identified.
- The afternoon session will deal with the use of mortality data.
- We will have a look at the current debates on the topic,
- as well as on the methodology used
- and the link between these data and the recommendations/conclusions inferred.
