Would this be a useful resource for the external links section? It is a visualization of child and infant mortality in Africa. The tool will be updated later this year to include all low- and middle-income countries. Child and Infant Mortality mapping tool

The statement that "Death rates were highest among children under age 1, followed by children ages 15 to 19, 1 to 4, and 5 to 14." is backed up by a reference to childtrends.org. Looking at childtrends.org I get the feeling that they only consider American children when stating this? If this is true the statement should be removed, as the article concerns child mortality globally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.23.224.68 (talk) 22:06, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
