Overview 

Mortality from most causes of death is a function of a small number of distal or deep drivers and a larger number of proximate or more immediate drivers.  For two specific mortality types, however, specifically deaths from AIDS and vehicle accidents, there are more specialized representations that rely on a number of more cause-related drivers.

• Distal Drivers and Basic Indicators
• Smoking and Smoking Impact
• Proximate Drivers and Risk-Specific Population Attributable Fractions
• Specialized Models: Death from AIDS and Vehicle Accidents
• Forward Linkages from Health
