Reexamining the Contribution of Public Health Efforts to the Decline in Urban Mortality: Reply
本文是对Cutler和Miller评论的回复，聚焦于人口分母问题，澄清了原始研究中死亡率数据构建的争议。
This rejoinder is written in response to the comment by Cutler and Miller (hereafter CM) on our paper, “ Reexamining the Contribution of Public Health Efforts to the Decline in Urban Mortality” (Anderson, Charles, and Rees 2022a). In their comment, CM acknowledge making unambiguous data transcription errors when constructing the infant mortality rates, 1 assess the sensitivity of their filtration estimates to alternative intervention dates, and defend the population denominators they used to construct total mortality rates. In this rejoinder, we focus on the third issue, the population denominators.
