Mortality estimates can be used for research, to inform or influence policy, for reconciliation processes, to plan health delivery and relief operations and for legal purposes. Many different methods have been applied and each has strengths and weaknesses. Recent years have seen an international effort in various disciplines like humanitarian actors, demographers and forensic anthropologists to cooperate, and efforts are being made to make data collection more systematic and valid. However, there are political, methodological and security-related challenges that must be overcome.
死亡率估计可用于研究、为政策提供信息或施加影响、用于和解进程、规划医疗服务和救援行动以及用于法律目的。人们已经应用了许多不同的方法，每种方法都有其优缺点。近年来，人道主义行动者、人口统计学家和法医人类学家等各个学科领域都在进行国际合作，并且正在努力使数据收集更加系统和有效。然而，仍存在一些政治、方法和安全方面的挑战必须加以克服。
