For all children who have died, you must record an age at death in Q. 220, even if it is only a best estimate. Age at death information is recorded in days, months, or years, depending on the child's age at the time of death.\n\n\u00b7\tIf the child was less than one month old at death, select 'DAYS' and write the answer  reported by the respondent.\n\n\u00b7\tIf the child was at least one month old but less than two years old when he or she\n\ndied, select 'MONTHS' and write the answer. .\n\nIf the child was two years old or older when he or she died, select 'YEARS' and write the answer. \n\n\n\nIf the instruction in Q. 220 is followed correctly, you should never record '00'months or '00' or '01' years.\n\nSome points to remember in completing Q. 220:\n\n\u00b7\tUse completed units. You should give the answer in completed units, e.g., if she says\n\n \u201cfour and a half months,\u201d record MONTHS '04'.\n\n\u00b7\tConvert answers given in weeks to days or months.\n\n- If the answer is less than four weeks, probe to find out the exact age at death in days. For example, if the answer is \u201cthree weeks,\u201d probe for the number of days. If the mother says 19 days, record DAYS '19'.\n\n- If the answer is four weeks or more, convert the answer to months. An answer of \u201cseven weeks\u201d would be recorded as MONTHS '01'.\n\n\u00b7\tProbe when the answer is \u201cone year\u201d. We know that often mothers will round off their answer if a child died close to the first birthday, i.e., the mother is likely to respond \u201cone year old\u201d even if the child really was younger (e.g., 10 months or 11 months) or older (e.g., 13 or 14 months) at the time of death. Therefore, anytime a woman responds \u201cone year\u201d or '12 months' to this question, probe by asking, \u201cHow many months old was NAME)?\u201d or by asking the respondent whether the child had reached his first birthday before he died.\n\n\n\nIn responding to this question, a respondent may tell you that the baby was not alive when it was born. If she does, probe by saying, \u201cDid the baby cry or show any sign of life when it was born?\u201d If she says the baby was dead when it was born, delete all entries for this child in the birth history table. Make sure to renumber the birth order numbers in Q. 212 when this occurs. Also correct the information recorded in Qs. 202-210 where necessary.","var_val_range":[{"units":"REAL","min":"1","max":"9999995"}],"var_universe":"All children (of all women aged 12-49 years) who are still alive according to wom_q216","universe_clusion":"I","var_sumstat":[{"value":"6210","type":"vald"},{"value":"5","type":"invd"}],"var_txt":"Child's age at death-unit","var_catgry":[{"value":"1","labl":"days","stats":"79","type":"freq"},{"value":"2","labl":"months","stats":"115","type":"freq"},{"value":"3","labl":"years","stats":"66","type":"freq"},{"value":"9","labl":"not applicable","stats":"5892","type":"freq"},{"value":"9999995","labl":"missing:impute","stats":"58","type":"freq"},{"value":"Sysmiss","labl":null,"stats":"5","type":"freq"}],"var_format":"numeric","var_format_schema":"other","fid":"F31","sid":"74","survey_idno":"APHRC-NCSS2-2014-v1.0"}
