Abstract
Childhood mortality is an important indicator of overall health and development in a country. It is the result of a complex interplay of determinants at many levels, and as such several studies have recognized that, for instance, maternal (Caldwell 1979; Cleland and van Ginneken 1988), socio-economic (Castro-Leal et al. 1999; Wagstaff 2001), and environmental (Wolfe and Behrman 1982; Lee et al. 1997) factors are important determinants of childhood mortality. However, only a few studies have incorporated environmental factors that are spatial in nature and derived from geographic databases, such as distances from households or communities (Watson et al. 1997).
