Expert adaptation and validation of a verbal autopsy instrument in Chile using the Delphi method
The instrument adapted and validated by experts offers a complementary tool for monitoring maternal mortality in Chile. Its comprehensive approach would allow identifying social and structural factors associated with maternal deaths, favoring more equitable and culturally relevant interventions aimed at preventing avoidable maternal deaths. Field validation is essential to assess the impact of its application.
