Summary 

These data are the product of a collaboration between the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) and the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (UADY): a cross-sectional study exploring the delays faced during the search for care by caregivers of children under the age of 5 who died in the State of Yucatán, Mexico, during 2015–2016. Two datasets resulting from the project are available for download. The first contains results of a household census in which interviews were conducted with caregivers of the deceased children. The interview consisted of two parts, a standardized verbal autopsy using neonatal and child modules of the Population Health Metrics Research Consortium (PHMRC) Shortened Questionnaire and a section with questions about health care-seeking behavior during the final illness and household characteristics. The second dataset includes the review of medical records for children who died in medical units of the Secretary of Health of Yucatán.
