If you are an epidemiologist, a sociologist, statistician or demographer, you are familiar with how “measures” are defined, and you know the importance of using standardized numerators and denominators. This section has resources to help you unlock some of the mysteries of how Maternal and Child Health defines its basic measures, as well as newer measures of maternal morbidity and mortality, life course indicators, and racism. This section will help you make numbers the same way other MCH Epidemiologists do.
