Interviewer instructions
Q. 443 is directed to women who delivered outside a health facility and asks about whether the child received a checkup from a health professional or traditional birth attendant in the two months after the child was born. For those children who did have a checkup, additional questions are asked about the first checkup the child had including: when this checkup took

place (Q.444), the person who did the checkup (Q.445), and where the checkup took place

(Q.446).



After a woman has given birth, there is a length of time when she will not have her monthly menstrual periods. Q.448 asks about whether a woman's period has resumed following the last birth while Q.449 inquires about the return of the woman's period for all other births. Q.450 is asked of women who say their period returned following the birth. Record the woman's answer in completed months. Remember to put a zero in the first box for responses of less than ten months.
