Metrics in Action: Lessons Learned from 30 Years of the Global Burden of Disease Study with Christopher Murray

The Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) began in 1991 sponsored by
the World Bank and the World Health Organization to fill a critical
gap in global health information. It has grown steadily to become
an active collaboration of more than 8,000 scientists, researchers
and policy-makers from 156 countries working together to quantify
health at the national and subnational level. In this program,
Christopher J.L. Murray, Professor and Chair of Health Metrics
Sciences at the University of Washington and Director of the
Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), discusses what
we've learned over the last 30 years studying global health.
