The Rapid Mortality Mobile Phone Surveys (RaMMPS, https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/rammps/ ) project aims to develop and field-test methods and survey instruments for collecting mortality data over the phone. The Malawi RaMMPS was conducted between 24 January 2022 and 28 July 2023 and included the following survey modules: respondent background characteristics, COVID vaccination, deaths in the household (last three months), parental survival histories, sibling survival histories and pregnancy histories. This dataset contains completed interviews as well as call attempts that did not result in a completed interview.

The sample for the Malawi RaMMPS was generated via (screened) Random Digit Dialing (RDD) without replacement. Using the mobile phone numbering structure in Malawi, a set of random numbers was generated by Sample Solutions (https://sample.solutions/), and verified against the Home Location Register (HLR), which is a database of registered (including pre-paid) numbers on the GSM network. Enumerators conducted Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) with active strata monitoring. Strata were a-priori defined in terms of broad age groups (18-49 and 50-64), sex, region (North, Central, and South), and type of place of residence (urban/rural), and the quotas for each stratum were derived from the 2018 Malawi Population and Housing Census. Once a stratum was filled, respondents with these attributes were no longer eligible to participate in the study. Fieldwork was divided into four blocks of 4 to 5 months each, and quotas were re-set at the beginning of each fieldwork block. Quotas for some of the strata were difficult to fill, and we also used an Interactive Voice Response Survey (IVR) to identify respondents living in a rural area.
