Interviewer instructions

E. SECTION 4: PREGNANCY AND POSTNATAL CARE

The objective of this section is to obtain information about health care related to childbearing including antenatal care, delivery care, and postnatal care for the woman and her newborn. The section includes questions about births that occurred in January [2007] or later. Thus, if a woman did not have a birth in this period, you will go on to the next section.

Q. 401: FILTER FOR BIRTHS IN JANUARY [2007] OR LATER

Qs. 402-404: COLUMN HEADINGS FOR BIRTHS IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS

All births since January 1, [2007], will be entered in the table. You will need to check the date of birth (found in Q. 215) for each child listed in the birth history to identify births the woman may have had during this period. For each birth since January [2007], beginning with the last birth (which will be found in the last row that is filled in the birth history), record the line number and the child's name (found in Q. 212) in Qs. 403 and 404. Also select in Q. 404 the option whether the child is alive or dead after checking for this in Q. 216. Then fill in the child's name at the top of the subsequent pages in Section 4. Consider twins as separate births and list them in separate columns, taking care to keep their positions in this table consistent with their order in the birth history. Recall that if the last children in Q. 212 are twins and one twin is dead, the living twin should be recorded as the last birth.

Example: If the last birth were twins, Judy (Line 07 in Q. 212) and Jacob (Line 08 in

Q. 212), Jacob should be recorded as the LAST BIRTH in this table and Judy as the NEXT-TO-LAST birth. Ask all the relevant questions in Section 4 for the last-born child before asking questions for the next-to-last birth, etc. When asking questions, be sure to insert the name of the child where indicated so there is no confusion about which child you are referring to. You will notice that the set of questions on previous births is more limited than the questions for the last birth. It is very important that you ask all of the appropriate questions for these births so you will need to follow the skip instructions carefully. You should not proceed to Section 5 until you have asked the appropriate questions for all births the woman had since January [2007].
