Information on births and deaths was collected in 11 randomly selected AWW areas of Barhaj Mahen ICDS project area in Eastern U.P. by an independent survey team in 1988-89. The findings revealed that the births and deaths were under-reported to the tune of 36.6 and 13.9 percent respectively, by AWWs. The different demographic indicators generated from the data were as follows, CBR and CDR were 30.3 and 7.1 per 1000 population. Neonatal mortality rate, IMR, and MMR were 58.3, 74.7 and 6.5 per 1000 live births. 0-6 yr mortality was 16.3 per 1000 children and constituted 37.5% of the total deaths. ARI, diarrhoea and fever were the major causes of mortality in 0-6 yr old children accounting for 25.9, 22.3 and 14.8% respectively. The findings indicated that there was underreporting in adult mortalities despite the independent investigation, and a reduction in infant and childhood mortality possibly due to the beneficial effect of ICDS services.
1988 - 1989年，一个独立的调查团队在印度北方邦东部巴尔哈吉马亨综合儿童发展服务项目地区随机选取的11个安格班迪工人（AWW）区域收集了出生和死亡信息。调查结果显示，安格班迪工人报告的出生和死亡人数分别少报了36.6%和13.9%。根据这些数据得出的不同人口统计指标如下：粗出生率（CBR）和粗死亡率（CDR）分别为每千人口30.3和7.1。新生儿死亡率、婴儿死亡率和孕产妇死亡率分别为每千例活产58.3、74.7和6.5。0至6岁儿童死亡率为每千名儿童16.3，占总死亡人数的37.5%。急性呼吸道感染（ARI）、腹泻和发烧是0至6岁儿童死亡的主要原因，分别占25.9%、22.3%和14.8%。调查结果表明，尽管进行了独立调查，但成人死亡率仍存在漏报情况，婴儿和儿童死亡率可能因综合儿童发展服务项目的有益影响而有所下降。
