This project will analyze data from manuscript records of a roll listing African-American immigrants to Liberia between 1820 and 1843; manuscript records of the 1843 Census of the Liberian Immigrant Population; and manuscript records of several censuses of the Cape Palmas immigrant Population. No systematic demographic study of the mortality experience of this population has been undertaken and these data allow a number of issues in mortality analysis to be investigated in a well-documented setting of extraordinarily high mortality. Proposed work will 1) provide a public use tape that contains data on the African-Americans who settled in Liberia between 1820 and 1843, and on 2400 of these settlers and their descendants who were living in Liberia in 1843, 2) describe the mortality conditions of the Liberian population between 1820 and 1843 and compare them to other migrant and non-migrant populations at the time, 3) use the Liberian mortality experience to extend model life table systems to very high mortality levels, 4) test specific hypotheses about factors believed to be affecting both the mortality rates and health status of African-Americans in Liberia.

该项目将分析来自名单的手稿记录的数据 1820年至1843年间移民利比里亚的非裔美国人；手稿 1843年利比里亚移民人口普查记录；以及 帕尔马斯角移民的几次人口普查手稿记录 人口。没有对死亡经历进行系统的人口统计学研究 对这一人群进行了调查，这些数据允许一些 死亡分析中的问题将在有充分记录的 设定了极高的死亡率。建议的工作将1) 提供包含非裔美国人数据的公共用途磁带 在1820年至1843年间在利比里亚定居，其中2400人 1843年居住在利比里亚的定居者及其后代，2) 描述利比里亚人口在以下年间的死亡情况 1820和1843，并与其他移民和非移民进行比较 当时的人口，3)利用利比里亚的死亡经验 将模型寿命表系统扩展到非常高的死亡率水平，4)测试 关于据信影响这两个因素的具体假设 利比里亚非裔美国人的死亡率和健康状况。
