Question pretext

Question post text

RECORD NUMBER OF COMPLETED MONTHS. ENTER 'T' IN THE CALENDAR IN THE MONTH THAT THE PREGNANCY TERMINATED AND 'P' FOR THE REMAINING NUMBER OF COMPLETED MONTHS.

Interviewer instructions

This question is asked only of women who lost a pregnancy in January [2007] or later. There are two parts to this question. First record how long the pregnancy lasted in months in the boxes provided in Q. 232. Then record the information about the pregnancy in the calendar. The total number of months in which codes are recorded in the calendar should equal the number of months recorded in Q.232.

Example 1: A woman had a pregnancy end in a still birth in May 2009 in the eighth month of her pregnancy. Record '07' in Q. 232. Then place a 'T' in the calendar next to May 2009 and a 'P' in the calendar in each of the six months preceding May 2009, i.e., in each month in the calendar from November 2008 through April 2009.

If the woman responds in weeks, you will have to convert the answer to months.

Example 2: A woman tells you that the last pregnancy she lost ended in August 2008 after 14 weeks of pregnancy. Record '03' in Q. 232. Then in the calendar, place a 'T' in August 2008, the month and year in which the pregnancy terminated, and a 'P' in each of the two preceding months that the woman was pregnant (i.e., May through July 2008).
