Bundled GHE Cause and Measure Catalog

An offline snapshot of ghe_causes() and ghe_dimensions() with dimension = "measure". Causes and measures are separate row kinds, not a claim that every cause-measure combination has observations.

Cause name or measure label.

DSIR measure unit; missing for causes.

Source

Details

Cause discovery uses the same latest-year, all-age, both-sex reference country as ghe_causes(). The exact selection is recorded in dsir_metadata(ghe_catalog)$scope; it is not a global coverage audit. Measure labels and units come from DSIR's adapter, and their provider fields were verified against the table schema. Reference year, retrieval time, package version and catalog version are separate concepts. No unreported WHO release or API version is invented. Refresh through data-raw/catalogs.R in the source repository.
