How Do Epidemiologists Collect Mortality Data?

Mortality data is collected through various methods:
Vital Registration Systems: These include birth and death certificates that record official cause of death.
Surveillance Systems: Health institutions and agencies monitor and report deaths due to specific diseases.
Surveys and Censuses: Large-scale surveys and national censuses provide demographic and health-related data.
Hospitals and Clinics: Health facilities often have records of deaths and related health information.
Verbal Autopsies: In areas lacking formal registration systems, interviews with family members can help determine probable causes of death.
