Death registration
The Death Registration Form is used to register all deaths that occur to DSS members at the time the death occurred. Effort must be made to obtain as accurate as possible the date of death. However, If the respondent is unsure of the precise date of death, try to probe, using memorable recent events to help respondents recall the date. A continually updated local events calendar may be useful. In all cases, at least the year and month of death must be known. For infants, accurate day date information must be obtained. Deaths to non-DSS members such as visitors should not be recorded.
