N2  - Increasing demand for health resources remains a global challenge. Valid and reliable methods for quantifying disease and injury burden are essential to guide the public health response to identify unmet needs, inform priority setting, develop appropriate policy, plan health services, and to monitor the impact of interventions. The 1990 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study was a landmark project which aimed to produce comprehensive and comparable estimates of the burden of disease and injury (and their risk factors). The burden of disease concept has been widely adopted by countries and used in many region-specific studies to identify the relative magnitude of different health problems, and has been immensely influential in shaping global health priorities.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
