Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the performance of computer-coded verbal autopsies (CCVA) to physician-coded verbal autopsies (PCVA) at the population level. In order to do so a randomised control trial is being conducted in five districts of India. In each district, 50% of deaths are randomly selected for PCVA and the rest for CCVA. The cause of death distribution for both groups are then compared within each district. If the performance of PCVA and CCVA are comparable, the attained distributions should be similar.
