Question post text

Interviewer instructions

Qs. 211 to 213 are asked to determine if the respondent has a living child age 0 to 3 years. If he does, write the name of his youngest child on the line provided in Q. 213. Qs. 214 through 216 ask about the antenatal and childbirth care received by that child and his or her mother. In Q.214, ask the respondent if the mother of his youngest child received antenatal care during her pregnancy. The care should have been specifically to check her pregnancy and not for other reasons. Q215 asks if the man was present during any of the antenatal visits. Q216 collects information on whether or not the last born aged 0-3 years was born in a health facility.

If the child was not born in a health facility, go on to ask the respondent why not in Q.217. Note that Q. 217 in the Man's Questionnaire is similar to Q. 439 from the Woman's Questionnaire; however, the Woman's question allows the interviewer to select more than one reason whereas in the Man's question you must select only the main reason.
