    Data Collection Notes


    During establishment of the surveillance ethical clearance was secured from the University of Gondar institutional review board and CDC. Then informed consent was obtained from each household head included in the surveillance.



    Data collectors were trained during census and re-census. Refresher trainings were also given at least once a year. Additionally, any newly recruited data collectors and supervisors received training before they start their actual work. Physicians were also trained on verbal autopsy. After 2008 three trainings were given for physicians untill 2011. Besides, supervisions were done about three times during each update cycles.



    All interviews are conducted in Amharic language, a national language also spoken by people in the surveillance area. The interview takes averagely 15 minutes for the surveillance while around 30 minutes for the verbal autopsy questionnaires.



    There are 34 local guides, 17 data collectors, and 4 field supervisors.
