Description Each death notification event is followed by a VA interview with the head of household or a person who took care of the deceased. Interviewers use the three standard World Health Organisation's 2002 VA questionnaires: this is for newborns (0-28 days). These questionnaires are designed to collect background information of the deceased including their age, sex, marital status, and health data prior to death. Other information collected in verbal autopsy interviews include history of chronic illness, a narrative account of events leading to death, symptom checklist and duration, lifestyle (use of alcohol, drugs and smoking) and a sequence of use of health services prior to death.

Description A notification system of vital events was set up following the baseline censuses. Each birth or death event occurring in SAVVY enumeration areas
triggered a notification message sent by a community key informant using a mobile phone. All information on verbal autopsy interviews (those captured retrospectively and prospectively during baseline census) are sent to trained physicians in
order to establish a probable cause of death. Each death is coded independently using the World Health Organisation International Classification of Diseases and Health Related Conditions version 10 (ICD 10).
