Interviewer instructions
This section is aimed at collecting information that will be used to compute maternal mortality ratios. This method collects information about all natural siblings of the woman (i.e. all her brothers and sisters born of the same mother). We ask about their current survival status (whether alive or dead), their age if alive, their current age if alive or their age at death. If one of the deceased siblings is a woman who died at the age of 12 years and above, we ask a series of questions to find out if she died during pregnancy, during childbirth or within two months of a birth. We then ask for the number of live-births the deceased female sibling had before the pregnancy preceding her death.
