Good evening

I am using the Angola Malaria Indicator Survey (AMIS) 2011 to study socio-economic factors contributing to infant and child mortality in Angola. I need to find out the following:
1. Can this survey (AMIS 2011) accurately measure infant and child mortality for the country or is it (its sample) only focusing on malaria-related cases?
2. Secondly, the infant and child mortality levels (per 1000) from my descriptive results are different from the ones in the AMIS 2011 report. What could be causing this?

Regards,
Jacob
