Interviewer instructions
Chapter VI-Fertility
1. You are about to start a new topic so you have to prepare the respondent by informing her that you are now going to ask her questions about children and child bearing. Remember these are questions to be asked of female adults and not for husbands to answer for their wives, except where it is inevitable. Questions on fertility are to be asked only of those females who are 12 years old and over and they involve only their own children.
F - 5: Have you had any live birth since August, 1989?
7. Do not put this question to females over 50 years of age since it will only be embarassing. Just enter code "2" in F-5 for such a female. The question is similar to F - 1 except that this time we are trying to find out if the female had a live birth in the "last 12 months".
F - 6 Of the children born to you alive since August, 1989 how many...
8. These questions are similar to F - 4, except that this time we are interested in the number of children born alive to this woman during the last 12 months. Thus while in the former question the reference period was the woman's reproductive life up to now, in the present questions we are concerned only with a period of one year just preceding the date of interview. Enter the numbers as reported.
