  INSTRUCTIONS :
  1. Cause of Death Column to the left is in World Rank Order.

2. Select a Country from the list on the right, click on it to place it in the Grid. You can place up to 7 countries into the Grid at one time.

3. Once the Country is in the Grid you can change the Cause of Death Column from the World Order to the Individual Country order by clicking on the Abbreviation beneath the Flag. Sorting the Data in this way enables you to compare one Country to another and against the World at the same time.

4. To remove an Individual Country from the Grid, return to the Country List on the right and Click to remove. You can then replace it with another Country or click the orange "Clear" button located at the top of the List to remove all Countries at once.

5. To assist you in finding Countries you may use the control above the list to alphabetise them. You'll also notice each time you select a country to be placed in the Grid it will change color and move to the top of the list making it easy to find to remove it. This feature also assists you in knowing which countries are in the Grid for review.

6. Example: Place Russia in the Grid and sort the Causes in Russia Rank order. Notice #4 is Poison....note Russia has more Deaths by Poison than Traffic Accidents. Why do Russia and the former Soviet countries lead the world in death by Poison? You will see other unusual patterns as you place countries into the Grid for review.

Click on any Country to begin....

Entering a Country into the Grid will cause these instructions to disappear. If you want to review them again, simply clear your Grid and they will return.
