Interviewer instructions

If, after asking the date the woman started living with her first partner (Q. 615), you were unable to record a year, ask how old she was when she started living with him. As with other age questions, if she doesn't know, probe. Use information on events for which you already have information, e.g., ask how old she was when her first child was born, and then ask how long before or after giving birth she began living with her first husband or partner. Notice that selecting DON'T KNOW is allowed as a valid response for Q.615. However, if you were unable to obtain a numerical response to YEAR in Q. 615, you will have to provide the AGE in Q. 616.
