Interviewer instructions

This question identifies the person(s) who assisted the woman during delivery. Probe if she is not sure of the status of the person who attended the delivery (for example, she is not sure if the person was a midwife or a traditional birth attendant). If the woman first mentions that a relative or friend attended, probe for whether this person is a trained health worker. Record all persons she says attended her.
