Measuring adult mortality from mobile phone surveys in Burkina Faso, Malawi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
In many low and middle-income countries, adult mortality estimates are derived from surveys and censuses conducted through face-to-face interviews. These interviews can be time-intensive and are often impractical during health crises or humanitarian emergencies. The expansion in cellphone ownership and network coverage has created new opportunities for collecting demographic data through mobile phone surveys, but our understanding of selection bi…
The use of mobile phone surveys for rapid mortality monitoring
BACKGROUND: In low- and middle-income countries, death registration remains low, and mortality estimation is heavily based on surveys and censuses conducted through face-to-face interviews. These operations are costly and time-consuming, and are difficult to conduct during health and security crises. Taking advantage of the rapid increase in cell phone network coverage, mobile phone surveys (MPS) have recently started to be used to collect mortal…
Increased Age Heaping in Mobile Phone Surveys Conducted in Low-Income and Middle-Income Countries
Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the number of surveys conducted remotely by mobile phone in low-income and middle-income countries has increased rapidly. This shift has helped sustain data collection despite restrictions on mobility and interactions. It might also allow collecting data more frequently on important demographic and socioeconomic topics. However, conducting interviews by mobile phone might affect the ac…

The converging prevalence of overweight by socioeconomic position in India's most developed states, particularly amongst urban women, implies that this subpopulation may be the first to exhibit a negative association between socioeconomic position and overweight in India. Programs aiming to reduce the increasing overweight trends may wish to focus on poorer women in India's most developed states, amongst whom the increasing trend in prevalence ha…
