Data File: Transitions_V4

Content	This dataset has been built using data from 4 demographic surveillance sites: Matlab, Agincourt, Navrongo, and Filabavi. Data available include sex, age, time, survival status and cause of death for those who died for each individual observed. Cause of death information comes from physician coded verbal autopsy interviews and is collapsed into 3-4 categories that vary by site (excluding indeterminate causes). The data include one observation for each observed person-year lived by an individual, defining time-varying covariates at the beginning of the person-year. The time periods available vary by site.
