我们使用最大似然模型来分析母亲的教育对婴儿和儿童死亡率在乌干达的影响。数据来自2006年乌干达人口和健康调查。我们的研究结果证实了这一假设，即母亲的教育是降低婴儿和儿童死亡率的根本。这表明，降低儿童死亡率的努力需要针对教育妇女的措施。因此，政府扩大免费中等教育的方案是值得赞扬的努力，需要加强。因此，所有利益攸关方都必须接受这一点，以鼓励女孩接受中学以上的教育。版权所有（c）2011约翰威利父子有限公司
We use maximum likelihood models to analyse the impact of mother's education on infant and child mortality in Uganda. The data were obtained from the Uganda Demographic and Health Survey 2006. Our results confirm the hypothesis that mother's education is fundamental in reducing infant and child mortality. This suggests that efforts to reduce child mortality need to target measures that aim to educate women. The government programme to extend free education at the secondary level is therefore a commendable effort that needs to be strengthened. This therefore needs to be embraced by all stakeholders to encourage girls to attain education beyond secondary level. Copyright (c) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
