Interviewer instructions

Questions 19 and 20: For women who were born between April 1949 and March 1984 only (15 to 49 years old) (For women who were born in 1949 and 1984, if the month of birth "**" code in Question 4 cannot be verified, the following questions must also be asked):

Because the subjects are women, the investigator in the sample areas must select women (preferably those who have been married)

Question 20: The last time the subject gave birth
Only ask this question of women whose total number of children is other than "00", recorded in 19.d.

The last childbirth (also referred to as "the most recent childbirth") of the subject is the birth closest to the time of the investigation, and is one live birth (or more than one, if twins or triplets), regardless of whether that child is alive at the time of the investigation.
If a woman who gave birth for the first time, it is also "the most recent childbirth".

20.b) Did you give birth to boy or girl this time?
The investigator writes the number of the most recent live-birth boys and girls of the subject in the appropriate boxes (if "one child", there is only one boy or one girl). If "none", then "0" must also be recorded in the appropriate box; the box may not be left blank. For example, a woman reports that during the last childbirth she gave birth to twin boys. It must be recorded as follows: [An example has been omitted.]
