Million Death Study (MDS), Centre for Global Health Research

Million Death Study (MDS), Centre for Global Health Research The Million Death Study (MDS) is one of the largest studies of premature mortality in the world.

The MDS is an ongoing study that is conducted in India, where, like most low- and middle-income countries, the majority of deaths occur at home and without medical attention. As a result, the majority of global deaths do not have a certified cause. In collaboration with the Registrar General of India, the MDS will monitor nearly 14 million people in 2.4 million nationally representative households

in India between 1998-2014. Any deaths that occur in these households during this period will be assigned a probable cause, as determined by a method called verbal autopsy. The results for the leading causes of death in India will be provided to governments, research agencies, and media as they become available so that they can take action against preventable deaths.
