SECTION 4B: VACCINATION AND HEALTH

441. COMPLETE THE HEADING OF THE TABLE BY FOLLOWING THE SAME PROCEDURE AS FOR SECTION 4A. THERE IS AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SECTIONS 4A AND 4B. SECTION 4A GATHERS INFORMATION ABOUT CHILDREN BOTH ALIVE AND DECEASED, WHEREAS SECTION 4B CONCERNS ONLY LIVING CHILDREN (442-477).

HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD COMPLETE THE HEADING OF THE TABLE IN SECTION 4B FOR ALL CHILDREN, LIVING OR DECEASED, BECAUSE THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TREATMENT OF CHILDREN'S DIARRHEA THAT ARE AT THE END OF THE SECTION (478-488) WILL BE ASKED OF ALL WOMEN.

Description

Definition

HIDX reports the young child's line number in the woman respondent's health history section. For children who are included in the health history (normally, children under age 3, 4, or 5), the value of HIDX is the same as the child's line number in the birth history (BIDX).

After asking, "Now I would like to record the names of all your births, whether still alive or not, with the first one you had," the interviewer recorded each child's name in turn on successively numbered lines printed in the "Reproduction" section of the individual woman's questionnaire.
