Question pretext
Encircle the month under the appropriate year for each birth on the chart below. If there were multiple births (twin, triplets, etc) in any month, record the number of births above the month. Record the birth of the child from oldest up to the youngest.
Interviewer instructions
Ascertain from respondent the date of birth of each of her live-born children since April 1, 1997, 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 date of birth of each child born alive since April 1, 1997. Probe to estimate the date of birth of aech 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.
