The manual includes verbal autopsy questionnaires for three age groups, cause-of-death certification and coding guidelines for applying the International statistical classification of diseases and related health problems (ICD-10) to verbal autopsy and a cause-of-death list for verbal autopsy with corresponding ICD-10 codes.

They are intended to serve the needs of various users and producers of mortality information, including researchers, policy-makers, programme managers, and evaluators.
