Million Death Study

The Million Death Study (MDS) is following the lives and deaths of 1.1 million households throughout India until 2014. This nationally representative survey will gather information about risk factors and causes of death for members of these households to yield a detailed picture of how and why people die. The MDS provides a low-cost and large scale means to track the health status of over one billion people.
