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.a) Month, year (Gregorian calendar) of the latest childbirth?
The process of asking this question is very similar to that of asking Question 4 (Gregorian calendar month, year of each member of the household). However, the investigator may not record the code "**" for the birth month of the latest childbirth as recorded in Question 4, and must record the birth month for this item (even if it is only an estimate).
The investigator writes the month of the most recent childbirth in the two available boxes on the line "month" in two digits; using 0 in the left box if the birth month number is smaller than 10. Write the last 2 digits of the birth year in the two boxes on the line "year".
