In equalities in diarrhoea, pneumonia and measles deaths: estimates for 21 sub-Saharan African countries
We estimate that inequalities in deaths from diarrhoea, pneumonia and measles are large in many countries of sub-Saharan Africa, with more deaths occurring among children in the poorest wealth quintiles compared with the richest. Our new and generalizable methods can help research on health disparities to explore new directions.
