Interviewer instructions

This question is intended to find out the length of a woman's stay in a health facility following a delivery. Note that we are not concerned with the total time she spent at the facility but the time she remained in the facility after giving birth. In recording her response, first select the appropriate unit of time ('HOURS, DAYS, or WEEKS) and then record the time she remained in the facility in the boxes next to that code.
