A household survey on an enlarged sample was conducted by a male field force. In addition to standard items, the household questionnaire contained items on paternal and maternal orphanhood, survivorship of first spouse, details of deaths in the preceding 24 months and life time and current fertility. A set of derived variables on household composition has been added to the file.
The second phase of the survey was based on a subselection of households enumerated in the main household survey and was conducted by a female field force about six weeks later. Selected households were re-interviewed using a simple household schedule and all ever-married women aged 15-49 were eligible for the individual questionnaire. In the latter, the full family planning module was not used but information on family planning availability was collected: knowledge and ever-use of specified sources; mode of transport and travelling time to sources; waiting time at source. The utility of these data is limited by low levels of knowledge and use. A full non-live birth history is available on the SR file.
As part of a wider Response Errors Project a re-interview survey was conducted on a subsample of 736 women.
