This is a particularly important section, and you need to be especially careful to obtain all the required information. \n\nThese questions collect information about all births that the woman has had (no matter who the father is). It is important that you understand which events to include. We want to count all of the respondent's natural births. You should count all children who were born alive (that is, who showed signs of life by crying, breathing, or moving) even if they survived only for a few minutes. We want to know about the number of all the woman's births even if the child no longer stays in the household or if the child is no longer alive.\n\nIt is also important to understand which events should not be recorded. You must not record adopted or foster children or children of relatives who may be living in the households. You also should not include any of her husband's children to whom the respondent did not give birth herself. Finally, you must not record children who were born dead (stillbirths), miscarriages, or abortions.\n\nFill in the number of total children who are alive in Q303.\nFill in the number of sons and daughters who are alive. If she has only sons alive, write '00' in the boxes for daughters, and vice versa. Remember that we are only interested in the respondent's OWN natural (biological) children and not foster children, children of her husband by another woman, or children of a relative.","var_val_range":[{"units":null,"min":"-9","max":"9999995"}],"var_universe":"All married (living together with a partner)women aged 15-39 living in the households.","universe_clusion":"I","var_sumstat":[{"value":"2822","type":"vald"},{"value":"0","type":"invd"}],"var_txt":"The number of sons the woman has given birth to that are alive.","var_catgry":[{"value":"-9","labl":"NIU (not in universe)","stats":"98","type":"freq"},{"value":"0","labl":"none","stats":"638","type":"freq"},{"value":"1","labl":null,"stats":"1228","type":"freq"},{"value":"2","labl":null,"stats":"591","type":"freq"},{"value":"3","labl":null,"stats":"193","type":"freq"},{"value":"4","labl":null,"stats":"54","type":"freq"},{"value":"5","labl":null,"stats":"16","type":"freq"},{"value":"6","labl":null,"stats":"2","type":"freq"},{"value":"7","labl":null,"stats":"2","type":"freq"},{"value":"9999995","labl":"missing:impute","stats":"0","type":"freq"}],"var_format":"numeric","var_format_schema":"other","var_notes":"\"304aHow many sons are alive?\"","fid":"F1","sid":"120","survey_idno":"APHRC-2016-STEP-UP-v10"}
