Description
Abstract:	This paper describes research undertaken to determine the relative mortality due to reproductive causes and nonreproductive causes in a developing country. Preliminary data on 1135 deaths to married women 15 to 50 years of age in the governorate of Menoufia, Egypt, during 1981 and part of 1982 are described. Causes of death were diagnosed by a Medical Panel from data collected by nonmedically trained persons who interviewed the families of the deceased. Preliminary analysis suggests that the practice of contraception in a developing country is safer than the alternative.
