Interviewer instructions

This question is extremely important, but it is often very difficult to obtain accurate information about children who have died. Some respondents may fail to mention children who died very young, so if she answers "no", it is important to probe by asking: Any baby who cried or showed signs of life but survived only a few hours or days (or only a short time)? Some respondents may be reluctant to talk about this subject and may become sad or upset that you are asking such questions. Be sympathetic and tactful in such situations. Say that you know the subject is painful, but the information is important.
