Phone: Mortality Closeout
GMORT Mortality Closeout Module OVERVIEW The mortality closeout module is administered when an informant informs us that the graduate we are trying to reach is no longer living. After establishing the relationship of the informant to the graduate, we administer a short module to collect data mainly involving updates on the graduate's last employment information, and information on the death itself. Mortality closeout module was not in previous rounds of data collection, therefore, the analysis variables created this round are not comparable to any specific module in previous surveys.
