Question pretext

Question post text

[IF DATE, MONTH AND YEAR ARE NOT KNOWN, RECORD 98, 98, 9998 RESPECTIVELY]

Interviewer instructions

Qs.106 and 107 must be asked independently of the information on the Household Questionnaire. Even if you already asked the respondent her age when you were completing the Household Questionnaire, you must ask again for her date of birth on the Women's Questionnaire. If the respondent knows her date of birth, write it in the appropriate boxes for MONTH and YEAR. You will need to convert the month into numbers. For this, January is '01', February is '02', March is '03', and so on. If she does not know her month of birth, write '98' and ask her for the year of her birth. If she knows the year, write it in the boxes for YEAR. Try under all circumstances to obtain at least the year of birth. If the respondent is unable to provide this information, ask whether she has any documentation such as an identification card or a birth or baptismal certificate that might give her date of birth. Write '9998' only if the respondent does not know and cannot provide any record showing her birth year. If this option is entered, remember to write notes explaining why you could not get the year of birth.
