InterVA products
We were delighted to release InterVA-4, a new integrated and improved version of our models, in August 2012. It's being widely used around the world.
A technical update was issued in March 2013, fixing a problem that arose for infant deaths using indicators 4000, 4010, 4020, 4030, 4040, 4070, 4080, 4240 or 4250.
InterVA-4 - the all-cause, all-age model for PCs, corresponding to the 2012 WHO Verbal Autopsy Instrument
This model is designed to interpret VA data for deaths from all causes and at all ages in a community. It runs on Windows-based PCs and is available for download here.
A User Guide to InterVA-4 in PDF format is included in the download.
InterVA-4 incorporates experience from InterVA-3 and InterVA-M, as well as expertise from a consultation process that has followed the development of the 2012 WHO Verbal Autopsy Instrument.
Disclaimer: It is a condition of downloading and using the InterVA-4 software that users take complete responsibility for its use and for any consequences arising. In particular, it should be emphasised that the model is designed to enable the epidemiological interpretation of whole-community mortality data, and should not be applied to investigations of individual deaths.
Although we believe that InterVA-4 is now the best tool to use, we continue to make legacy versions of our tools available below.
InterVA-3 - the all-cause, all-age model for PCs
NB a technical update, v3.2, was issued in October 2009 to fix bugs, but the basis of the InterVA interpretation remains unchanged.
This model is designed to interpret VA data for deaths from all causes and at all ages in a community. It runs on Windows-based PCs and is available for on request.
A User Guide to InterVA-3.2 in PDF format is available for download here.

InterVA-M - the specialised maternal mortality model for PCs
This model is designed to interpret VA data for deaths among adult women of reproductive age. It considers all causes of death, but particularly emphasises the likelihood of the woman being non-pregnant, pregnant or recently delivered at the time of death, and determines specific sub-causes of pregnancy-related death. It runs on Windows-based PCs and is available on request.
