The Acute Gastrointestinal Illness (AGI) Study is a set of three linked surveys, with the
following objectives:
• To determine the magnitude and distribution of self reported AGI in the New Zealand
population;
• To estimate the burden of disease associated with AGI;
• To describe and estimate the magnitude of under-ascertainment of AGI at each stage
in the national communicable disease surveillance process; and,
• To identify modifiable factors affecting under-ascertainment that, if altered, could
reduce case loss throughout the AGI component of the surveillance system.
