Questions and instructions
Literal question
In what month and year were these live births born?
Interviewer instructions
Ascertain from respondent the date of birth of each of her live-born children since April 1, 1996, regardless of whether the child is now dead or is living elsewhere. Ask for birth or baptismal certificate or other documents to help the respondent recall the births of each child born alive since April 1, 1996. Probe to estimate the date of birth of each child. Verify that there is an appropriate spacing between births. The birth interval between any successive births should not be less than ten months. For pre-mature births, eight or nine months interval is acceptable, however you should write down the necessary remarks at the margins of the questionnaire.
Circle the month under the year of each birth. If there were multiple births (such as twins, triplets, etc.) in any month, record the number of births above the month but circle the month of birth only once. You will have to provide the number of births followed by the month of birth and lastly by the year of birth for each live birth starting with the eldest child born alive since April 1,1996 in the boxes provided. Place 1 for single birth, 2 for twins, 3 triplets, etc. in the box corresponding to the number of births. The same procedure in entering the month and year of birth as in Question 2 applies here.
For collected SAQs, enumerators need to put entries in the code boxes corresponding to the date of birth of each of the children born since April 1, 1996.
