    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Context:

    • Analysis utilizes data from World Fertility Surveys in Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Panama, and the Dominican Republic.
    • Examines infant mortality differentials across diverse socioeconomic and environmental contexts in Latin America.

    Purpose:

    • To identify and analyze factors influencing infant mortality.
    • To compare infant mortality differentials across selected Latin American countries.
    • To apply the Proportional Hazards Model for simultaneous variable effect analysis on early childhood mortality.

    Summary:

    • Investigates infant mortality using contextual, socioeconomic, and biological variables.
    • Significant variations in infant mortality observed, with Peru showing higher rates (over 150/1000) compared to Panama and Costa Rica (around 100/1000).
