Data Collection Notes

Households are registered and visited regularly by lay field-workers, with a frequency varying from once per year to several times per year. All vital events are registered at each such visit, and any deaths recorded are followed up with verbal autopsy interviews, usually undertaken by specially trained lay interviewers.

Questionnaires

The Verbal Autopsy Questionnaires used by the various sites differed, but in most cases they were a derivation from the original WHO Verbal Autopsy questionnaire.
