This paper uses data from Jordan’s 2007 Demographic and Health Survey to reassess the main determinants of child mortality in this middle-income country. Running different logit estimations to allow for different time windows and sets of variables, it is found that behavioral factors have gained importance, compared to the household and community factors that were found to be important in earlier studies. It is concluded that once a country has passed a certain threshold in household income, education and access to health care and safe drinking water, policies targeting behavioral changes are the most promising for achieving further reductions in mortality rates.
