Questions are used to estimate maternal mortality, pregnancy-related mortality, and adult mortality. Typically asked of women only but in some surveys asked of men as well.
  • Paper survey ‹Interviews conducted with paper questionnaires which are later entered into a computer at a central office.
  • Verbal autopsy ‹A separate questionnaire administered by a trained medical professional to determine the cause of death, usually for children in selected households.
