Description

The HealthBurden module (and others, like HealthSystem) suffer from a proliferation of loggers which give the same kind of output but broken down in different ways. Rather than doing this, it would be more efficient and more future-proof, to let the user specify what outputs they want, and just do that.

e.g., In the HealthBurden module - a break down by age/sex/cause OR by age/sex/wealth etc.

Research direction

Start by reading the HealthBurden and HealthSystem modules and mapping their existing loggers and output breakdowns. Define how users will request dimensions such as age, sex, cause, or wealth, then verify that the selected breakdowns are produced without the current proliferation of loggers.
