Abstract | ||||
Data from the 1985 Amman Follow-Up Health and Population Survey are used to examine the association between child mortality and socioeconomic and environmental conditions which are directly influenced by the Urban Development Department interventions. Ordinary least squares regression is used in the analysis and the estimates show that the proportionate effects of mother's education, housing quality, water and electricity supply, availability of soap for handwashing and sewage connection are highly significant. | ||||
