Abstract

Verbal autopsy (VA) is a technique designed for reliable determination of the cause of death by interviewing the entourage of the deceased. When conducted rigorously using a standardized questionnaire, VA can establish the most probable diagnosis. Data obtained by VA can be suitable for demographic or epidemiologic purposes. The VA technique depends on the exact purpose for which the data will be used.
