This study focused on child survival as an important issue for maternal and child health, especially in developing countries. A large body of literature and documents were reviewed to ascertain the factors associated with infant and child mortality. Based on the framework developed by Mosley and Chen, and subsequently modified by other researchers, an integrated framework was developed to include biomedical, socio-economic and other factors for the analysis of infant/child mortality but simplified to permit analysis using available data. This model is applied to data from Taiwan and Thailand. For longitudinal analysis (1961-1990) of Taiwan data, with five independent variables in the equations, more than 95 percent of variance in infant and child mortality can be explained by these variables. Total fertility rate (TFR) was found to be the most significant factor associated with the decline in infant and child mortality during this period. In spite of incomplete data, analysis of the available data from Thailand yielded results very similar to those of Taiwan. Cross-sectional analysis of data from more recent years (1989-91) shows that literacy and economic conditions are significant factors associated with infant and child mortality in Taiwan, whereas logit analysis results using Demographic Health Survey (DHS) data from Thailand show that both biomedical factors (mother's tetanus injection, professional antenatal care, professional delivery care, breastfeeding), socio-economic factors (watching TV, owning of refrigerator, and region) and demographic factors (mother's age at birth of index child, birth order, and sex of child) are important influences of infant mortality there. Different strategies of intervention program have been recommended for further decline of child mortality in these two countries.Subjects--Topical Terms:
