INTERVIEWER INSTRUCTIONS
There is an important difference between Sections 4 and 5. Section 4 obtains information for both
living and dead children, while Section 5 obtains information only for living children. However, you
need to complete the table headings for both living and dead children in Section 5 because all
women will be asked a series of health-related questions at the end of this section.
http://aphrc.org/catalog/microdata/index.phpcatalog/74/variable/V9731 - page 1
Complete the table heading, following the same procedure as you did for Section 4. Check Qs.212
and 216 and fill in the Line Number (Q. 502), child's name, and survival status (Q. 503) at the top
of this page and the child's name at the top of each of the subsequent pages in the Child Health
table. Make sure to start with the last birth, then the next to last, etc. After completing Q. 503 for
all births since January [2007] start with the LAST BIRTH in the first column and do one of three
things:
1) if the child is alive, ask Q. 504;
2) if the child is dead, go to the next column for the birth recorded there; or
3) if there are no more births, go to Q.601.
