It is important to collect only information on core demographic variables during the baseline census round. The purpose for this is to focus on basic information that can be used to produce registers for subsequent follow up rounds. The essential core variables are:

Additional information on other indicators is optional for this round but be very careful not to overload this first round where staff are still inexperienced, the community is still not well aware of the DSS, and much time will be spent locating households and capturing these core data. Additional parameters and events are best left to subsequent update rounds when core census data are not collected, but just updated.  This is especially so for verbal autopsy which should not be done during the baseline census round (since you do not know who are resident members yet).
