Figure 3: Age-specific mortality rates derived from the the 2010–2011 DHS (for the period 0–6 years before data collection) (in black), and age-specific mortality rates obtained when errors in the reported current age, age at death and the timing of death are factored in sibling histories (DHS versus SSC questionnaires).

Note: all estimates are derived from the 2010–2011 DHS in Senegal. The black dots refer to estimates obtained conventionally from SSH, using only the sampling weights, without any modification. The grey dots refer to the estimates obtained from the same set of SSH data after distorting the reports based on the patterns of errors observed in the Niakhar study. Only results referring to patterns of misreporting errors observed in our probabilistic sample are presented here.
