| What method was recommended by the expert group for gathering data on causes of death? | verbal autopsy method | Reliable data on causes of death is essential for meaningful planning of health care and alloca- tion of resources. In response to such pressing need, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) initiated a cause of death study by verbal autopsy as a task force project through its Division of Non-communicable Diseases. The expert group under the task force discussed possible ways to collect information on causes of deaths and opined to adopt verbal autopsy method for the purpose. It was also suggested that for verbal autopsies to be comparable, they need to be based on similar interviews and the cause of death needs to be arrived at in the same way in all cases. Accordingly, a study was planned to assess probable causes of deaths in male and female population in selected states, namely, Assam, Bihar, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu, representing different regions of India. | 448 | factual | 0.490 | The expert group under the task force discussed possible ways to collect information on causes of deaths and opined to adopt verbal autopsy method for the purpose. | 5 | page=5,block=1 | 0.700 | |
