Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation
2024
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent population health research center at the University of Washington, providing measurement of the world's health problems and evaluating the strategies used to address them. IHME makes this information freely available so that policymakers have the evidence they need to make informed decisions about how to allocate resources to improve population health. Guiding everything that IHME does are five principles: scientific excellence, policy relevance, impartiality, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
Publicly available resources include data visualizations and interactives, policy reports, research articles, infographics, presentations, and several databases, including the GBD Results Tool, which allows users to search data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. IHME publishes country profiles that provide an overview of findings from the GBD study, including information about mortality, morbidity, and disability as well as health care access, quality, and spending. Profiles are based on more than 80,000 different data sources used by researchers to produce the most scientifically rigorous estimates possible, and may be freely downloaded and distributed. IHME also provides information on featured health topics and has a news portal for the latest IHME research.
