  • Errors in reported ages and dates in surveys of adult mortality

    Bruno Masquelier, Mufaro Kanyangarara et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies2021Cited by: 4References: 28

    Sibling survival histories are a major source of adult mortality estimates in countries with incomplete death registration. We evaluate age and date reporting errors in sibling histories collected during a validation study in the Niakhar Health and Demographic Surveillance System (Senegal). Participants were randomly assigned to either the Demographic and Health Survey questionnaire or a questionnaire incorporating an event history calendar, reca…

  • Tracing Long- and Short-term Migrants for Participation in Demographic and Epidemiological Studies

    Open AccessMufaro Kanyangarara, Laetitia Douillot et al.ARTICLECAM2020Cited by: 1References: 31

    Migration of participants in demographic and epidemiological studies results in missing data. One approach to reduce resulting losses in statistical power and potential biases is to follow up migrants at their new residence. We describe the follow-up of migrants who were eligible for participation in a trial of a new questionnaire to measure adult mortality in Niakhar, Senegal. We conducted a short inquiry in the migrant's last known household to…

  • Improving age measurement in low- and middle-income countries through computer vision

    Open AccessHelleringer, Stephane Helleringer et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2019Cited by: 4References: 78

    Age misreporting is pervasive in most low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). It may bias estimates of key demographic indicators, such as those required to track progress towards sustainable development goals. Existing methods to improve age data are oft

  • Estimating mortality from external causes using data from retrospective surveys

    Open AccessGilles Pison, Bruno Masquelier et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2018References: 33

    In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), data on causes of death is often inaccurate or incomplete. In this paper, we test whether adding a few questions about injuries and accidents to mortality questionnaires used in representative household surveys

  • Cause-specific childhood mortality in Africa and Asia

    Open AccessPeter Kim Streatfield, Wasif Ali Khan et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    BACKGROUND: Childhood mortality, particularly in the first 5 years of life, is a major global concern and the target of Millennium Development Goal 4. Although the majority of childhood deaths occur in Africa and Asia, these are also the regions where such deaths are least likely to be registered. The INDEPTH Network works to alleviate this problem by collating detailed individual data from defined Health and Demographic Surveillance sites. By re…

  • HIV/Aids-related mortality in Africa and Asia

    Open AccessPeter Kim Streatfield, Wasif Ali Khan et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    BACKGROUND: As the HIV/AIDS pandemic has evolved over recent decades, Africa has been the most affected region, even though a large proportion of HIV/AIDS deaths have not been documented at the individual level. Systematic application of verbal autopsy (VA) methods in defined populations provides an opportunity to assess the mortality burden of the pandemic from individual data. OBJECTIVE: To present standardised comparisons of HIV/AIDS-related m…

  • Pregnancy-related mortality in Africa and Asia

    Open AccessPeter Kim Streatfield, Nurul Alam et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    BACKGROUND: Women continue to die in unacceptably large numbers around the world as a result of pregnancy, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Part of the problem is a lack of accurate, population-based information characterising the issues and informing solutions. Population surveillance sites, such as those operated within the INDEPTH Network, have the potential to contribute to bridging the information gaps. OBJECTIVE: To describe pat…

  • Adult non-communicable disease mortality in Africa and Asia

    Open AccessPeter Kim Streatfield, Wasif Ali Khan et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    BACKGROUND: Mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a major global issue, as other categories of mortality have diminished and life expectancy has increased. The World Health Organization's Member States have called for a 25% reduction in premature NCD mortality by 2025, which can only be achieved by substantial reductions in risk factors and improvements in the management of chronic conditions. A high burden of NCD mortality among muc…

  • Malaria mortality in Africa and Asia

    Open AccessPeter Kim Streatfield, Wasif Ali Khan et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    BACKGROUND: Malaria continues to be a major cause of infectious disease mortality in tropical regions. However, deaths from malaria are most often not individually documented, and as a result overall understanding of malaria epidemiology is inadequate. INDEPTH Network members maintain population surveillance in Health and Demographic Surveillance System sites across Africa and Asia, in which individual deaths are followed up with verbal autopsies…
