Measurement of intervention coverage
Although UNICEF and other partners have invested heavily in efforts to track coverage levels for effective maternal, newborn and child (MNC) survival and nutrition interventions methodological weaknesses in current efforts to measure coverage, and especially coverage...
IUGR and preterm birth as risk factors for morbidity/mortality
CHERG has identified the need for additional work on intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) and pre-term birth. Both these conditions, individually and together, are important risk factors for neonatal (and perhaps later)...

The overall goal of CHERG is to develop and deploy new and improved evidence on the causes and determinants of maternal, neonatal and child morbidity and mortality, on intervention coverage, and on the effectiveness of interventions to inform and...
Incidence and sequelae of maternal morbidity
While there is some information available on the levels of maternal mortality in developing countries, much less is known about the levels of maternal morbidity, including the incidence of the main obstetric complications and...
Incidence and sequelae of child morbidity
CHERG will provide estimates of child morbidity, including etiology-specific morbidity, by continuously updating systematic reviews and by seeking additional sources of data from country-level work and from research underway, such as the studies of...
Failures in the “pathways to survival”
Knowledge of the biological causes of child death is important, but additional information on failures at household, community and health system levels to avert death is critical to improving programs to reduce mortality. Effective...
