Deaths: has there been any deaths in the household since _ _ _ _ [date to fill out]
Deaths:
This applies to the death of residing members of the household. The census agent shall ask the question "Has there been any deaths in the household since January 1st, 1991?" The census agent shall treat this question carefully because it can sometimes invoke painful memories for the respondent.
If there were no deaths during the period, the census agent shall report "0" (zero) in the grid situated above the table "Deaths."
If the answer is Yes, the census agent shall ask for how many deaths occurred in the household during the last 12 months. He shall report the number in the corresponding grid.
Column (1): this is the column for the number of deaths in the household.
(28) Has there been any deaths in the household since January 1st 2001?
Question [column] (28): Has there been any deaths in the household since January 1st, 2001?
If the answer to this question is no, go to column 40 (construction type) in the "household characteristics" section. If the answer is yes, go to column 29 i.e. the deaths order number.
The data on deaths since January 1st 2012 are extremely important and, for these questions, it is difficult to obtain exact data if you do not tactful. Start by saying that you know that the topic is painful but that the information is important.
Certain persons might neglect to mention the children who died very young, and that's why if the answer is "no", it is important to insist by saying "no boy or girl who has cried or has given signs of life but has only lived for a few minutes, a few hours, or a few days?
Similarly, certain persons might not well-disposed to talk about this subject and can become sad or troubled when you ask them such questions. In such situations, you must show sympathy and tact. Remind them that you know that the topic is painful but that the information is important.
NB: Deaths since January 1st 2012 are counted since the reference night, i.e. since the night preceding your household visit.
23. During the year 2000, did any person who lived with you die?

Q: Since Independence Day 2000, has any member of this household died?
In general people are not happy to talk about deaths, especially recent ones, so be careful when asking this question. We are interested in recording information about any deaths since last Independence Day, September 30th, 2000, of anyone who had, up until their death, been a member of this household. The relevant portion of the sample questionnaire is shown below:
If there was any such death, enter the details under columns D1 to D3. Start with the serial number in D1. The first death should be given the serial number 01, the second death 02, etc. Record also the relationship in D2 of the deceased to the head of the current household, the SEX of the deceased in column D3 and his AGE at death in column D4. If the person was under 1 year at death enter 00. Lastly, in D5 you will have to collect information on where the deceased was living most of the times or usually before dying, which might help you establish if the deceased was really a member of the household. The deceased should be regarded a usual member if he/she has stayed with the household for period longer than 14 days before death. Still deaths should not be considered to be deaths.
If there were more than three deaths in the household, write "continued" in the comments box and enter the particulars of these other deaths in Part D of the next questionnaire form, starting with serial number 04.
If there were no deaths, enter dashes in the spaces provided for answer codes in the first line only. Ensure that one death is not repeated in more than one household. The repetition of one death is common among relatives of the deceased who are not of the same household, and another confusion from those people who were staying in the same dwelling with the deceased but not being of the same household with the deceased. These situations could be avoided by finding out the usual residence of the deceased and whether the deceased had common provision for food with the household interviewed.
Example: The household has had one death since independence day last year, this death is assigned serial number 1, coded 06 in D2 to show that the deceased was Maungo's grandparent and coded 1 in D3 to show that the person was male. This person was aged 96 years and was living in Francsitown most of the time, at the time of death the deceased had moved to Tsootsha until his death two months later.
[Table in P.52 of the original document is not presented here]
Since Independence Day 2010, has any member of the household died? (stayed for at least 14 days)
[If "yes", complete questions 1 to 5, if "no" put dashes in the first row only].
178. Columns D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5: Deaths in the household
Q. Since Independence Day 2010, has any member of this household died (staying within the household for at least 14 days)?
Generally people are not happy to talk about deaths, especially recent ones, so be careful when asking this question. We are interested in recording information about any deaths since last Independence Day, September 30th, 2010, of anyone who had, up until their death, been a member of this household. The relevant portion of the sample questionnaire is shown below.
If there was any such death, enter the details in columns D1 to D5. Start with the serial number in D1. The first death should be given the serial number 01, the second death 02, etc. Record also the relationship in D2 of the deceased to the head of the current household, the SEX of the deceased in column D3 and his/her age in completed years at death in column D4. If the person was under 1 year at death enter 00. Lastly, in D5 you will have to collect information on where the deceased was living most of the times or usually before dying, which might help you establish if the deceased was really a member of the household. The deceased should be regarded as a member if he/she has stayed with the household for period of at least 14 days before death. Still births should not be considered to be deaths.
If there were no deaths, enter dashes in the spaces provided for answer codes in the first line only. Try by all means to eliminate the chances whereby one death is repeated in more than one household. The repetition of a death is common among relatives of the deceased who are not of the same household and confusion from those people who were staying in the same dwelling with the deceased but not being of the same household with the deceased. These situations could be avoided by finding out or probing for the usual residence of the deceased and whether the deceased had common provision for food with the household interviewed

Deaths in the household in the last 12 months
133.1 Deaths in household in the last 12 months: Total Number of Deaths
Columns (1) to (6) are for recording death of any member of the household in the last 12 months
This relates to the death of any member of the household during the last 12 months in the same household. Before recording any death you should know that the death of the person took place when he/she was living in the household. For example, if a woman who was formerly a member of the household during the census had died as a member of another household (which she joined after marriage), her death should not be recorded in the census household.
133.2 If a member of the census household died at hospital irrespective of the period of stay in the hospital, such death should be recorded as in the census household. If a member of the census household was traveling to some place for getting health care and died in that place, it should be recorded as in the census household. For example, Nara who is a member of household (A) in Kandal fell ill and went to Phnom Penh to receive treatment and stayed in the household of (B) in Phnom Penh. If he died in Phnom Penh, his death should be recorded in household (A) and not in household (B). To determine to which household a member belongs in such cases, six months or more may be treated as the period the person should have stayed in the household to treat him/her as belonging to that household.
133.3 For recording death in the household in the last 12 months, nine columns are provided. One line should be used for recording one death. The first
[p.54]
column is for the serial number. In Column 2 you should write the full name of the deceased. In case of infant death where the infant is not given a name, write "INFANT (Kouy Kim Deth's infant)". In Column 3 you should fill in the sex of the deceased. In Column 4 the relationship to the head of household should be filled in. In Column 5 the age at death in completed years of the deceased at the time of death should be recorded. In Column 6 give the appropriate code for the cause of death of the person. The list of causes of death given on the questionnaire contains one group of codes for illness and another for accidents. The codes from 01 to 11 relate to illness and codes from 12 to 15 for accidents. If there are two or more causes, give the code for one cause only after probing which was the most important cause. If with all efforts (i.e. discussing with other members, etc.) you are not able to ascertain the actual cause of death of any person, enter Code 16 (Not Known).
Deaths in household in the last 12 months _ _
This section is considered as part of household questionnaire with very sensitive questions. You should be polite and patient when asking these questions. You should explain to the respondents about this information which is very necessary for studying the death rate (per 1000 population), maternal death rate and for the calculation of the population growth rate. You should take special care to see that correct information is ascertained; you may have to put probing questions patiently to achieve this.
94.1 Deaths in household in the last 12 months: total Number of deaths
Columns (1) to (6) for recording death of any member of household in the last 12 months
This relates to death of any member of household during the last 12 months in the same household. Before recording any death you should know that the death of the person took place when he/she was living in the household. For example a woman who was formerly a member of household during the census had died as member of another household (which she joined after marriage) her death should not be recorded in the census household.
94.2 If a member of the census household died at hospital irrespective of the period of stay in the hospital such death should be recorded as in the census household. If a member of census household was traveling to some place for getting health care and died in that place, it should be recorded as in the census household. For example Nara who is member of household (A) in Kandal fell ill and went to Phnom Penh to receive treatment and stayed in the household of (B) in Phnom Penh. If he died in Phnom Penh, his death should be recorded in household (A) and not in household (B). To determine to which household a member belongs in such cases, six months or more may be treated as the period the person should have stayed in the household to treat him/her as belonging to that household.
94.3 For recording death in household in the last 12 months ten columns are provided. One line should be used for recording one death. The first column is for the serial number. In column 2 you should write full name of the deceased. In case of infant death where the infant is not given a name, write "Infant (Kouy Kim Deth's infant)". In column 3 you should fill-in sex of the deceased. In column 4. The relationship to head of household should be filled-in. For filling in col.4, the code list for relationship given below the column may be referred to and suitable code given. In column 5. The age at death in completed years of the deceased at the time of death should be recorded. In column 6 give appropriate code for the cause of death of the person. The list of causes of death given on the questionnaire contains one group of codes for illness and another for accidents. The codes from 01 to 11 relate to illness and codes from 12 to 15 for accidents. If there are two or more causes, give the code for one cause only after probing which was the most important cause.
If with all efforts (i.e. discussing with other members etc) you are not able to ascertain the actual cause of death of any person, enter code 16 (Not Known).
Column 7: has the death been registered with the civil authority in commune/Sangkat? yes: 1; No: 2
Death registration means that the death in the household was reported by any of the household members or any relative to the commune/Sangkat. If the respondent says that the death was registered with the civil authority in the commune/Sangkat concerned you should give code1, otherwise give code 2.

[p.48]
For each question, circle the code that matches the correct answer. For questions involving numbers, legibly write the numbers declared by the head of household in the appropriate grids.
Note: Details must be provided when the "Other, specify" option is selected. In cases where the answer to a question is visible (Questions 39, 41, 42), do not ask the question.
6.3.2 Deaths in the household during the last 12 months
This question deals with residents of the household who have died during the last twelve months, regardless of the place of death or burial. For example: An individual who resided in Abidjan and who, while ill, was transferred to the village for treatment and died there, should not be taken into account as a member of the household in the village, but in his/her household in Abidjan.
The "deaths during the last 12 months" are a special component of the questionnaire, as it deals with a different type of data aimed at identifying household members who have died during the last twelve months.
A great deal of tact and patience is required, as these are painful events for members of the household. However, you must make every effort to ensure that the head of household informs you of all deaths recorded in his/her household during the last 12 months. You must also remember that the period of the last 12 months is calculated from the date of your visit to the household. Therefore, you must provide the correct time references to the head of household.
Ask the question: "Have there been any deaths in your household since November 1997 through today?"
Note: You must enter the deaths that have occurred in the household in the last 12 months prior to the date of your visit.
For example, if you were to visit a household on November 30, 1998, you would record the deaths during the last 12 months dating back to November 30, 1997. An interviewer visiting another household on November 21, 1998, would record the deaths dating back to November 21, 1997, etc.

a.) You should obtain information of all deaths that occurred in the household from September, 1997 to date. Make sure you include deaths of persons of all ages that occurred in the household during the period from September, 1997 to the date of your visit.
For example, if your interview is on 15 September, 1998 you should ask for the total number of deaths that occurred in the household during the period 16 September, 1997 and the date of your interview; that is, 15 September, 1998.
In the case of a need for probing, you should proceed month by month in the backward direction, and enquire whether there was any death of a person related or unrelated who lived in any dwelling unit belonging to the household during the period specified above.
For recording, you should include the following categories of deaths:
ii.) Deaths of household members occurring in the hospital/clinic, or on the way to hospital/clinic, or as a result of an accident. Make sure that the deceased lived in a dwelling unit belonging to the household immediately prior to his death.
Note:
i.) Death of prisoners, student residents in institutions, etc., should be taken as if such deaths occurred in the household where the deceased would have otherwise been members.
ii.) Death of members of other households that were brought to this household for burial should be excluded from the present household. These deaths should be included in the households where the deceased lived.
iii.) This part of the questionnaire should not be completed for institutions.

1.3.2 Table 2: Deaths during the past 12 months
This table relates to all deaths occurring in the household in the past 12 months: children, adults and old people.
The deaths will also be recorded according to the general principal indicated above. Proceed as follows: write the date of your visit to the household on a piece of scratch paper.
For example: April 6, 1987. Then ask the head of household the following question: "Have there been any deaths in the household since April 6, 1986?" For illiterate heads of household this will be the lunar month corresponding to the month of April 1986 on the Muslim calendar (annex).
- If the answer to the question is YES, fill out table 2. But before you fill out the table, first make sure that the deaths did indeed occur during the 12-month period preceding your visit to the household. Then fill out table 2 according to the order of the columns.
1. Rank
Give a rank of 1, 2, etc. to each death and write it in this column.
2. First name and last name
Write the first and last names of the deceased.
3. Sex
Write M for masculine and F for feminine.
4. Age at death
Ask the head of household the age of the person when he/she died. For persons aged more than one year, write the age in completed years. For children aged less than one year, write the age in completed months.
Comments: Record the death of those children who died before the age of one very carefully. These children should be included on the table of births. Don't forget to ask the question about deaths in all households, even if no [deaths] were reported in the last several households questioned.
This section is devoted to the [demographic] events that occurred in the past 12 months. That is, the births and the deaths that occurred in this household during the 12 months prior to the visit of the census enumerator.
These events must be registered faithfully, and with great accuracy, in order to avoid omissions that could affect the quality of the data. In addition, the accuracy of the results that will be obtained will be a function of the rigorous consideration of the recall period of 12 months, taken as the reference period. The census enumerator date of visit in the household is the milestone for determining this period.
For instance, if the date of visit of the census enumerator in the household is April 6, 1998, only the events between April 6, 1997 and this date shall be registered. A birth or a death that occurred prior to April 6, 1997 will not be registered.
One could use as a landmark the month of the previous Muslim festival [Tabaski], which occurred on April 18, 1997, or the date of the first round of parliament elections of April 13, 1997, which has been cancelled, to specify the previous 12 months period.
A seasonal calendar was elaborated (see Annex), to help the illiterate persons to better define this 12 months period prior to the census date. This seasonal calendar provides correspondences between the dates on the Gregorian calendar and the Muslim calendar with the lunar months translated into Bambara.
1.3.2. Deaths during the past 12 months
This summary table deals with all deaths that occurred in the household during the past 12 months (children, adults, elderly persons).
The deaths will be also registered according to the general principle mentioned above.
The census enumerator will proceed as follows:
- Write down on a spare sheet your date of visit in the household. Example: April 6, 1998.
Then ask to the household head: "Has there been any death in this household over the past 12 months, that is, since April 6, 1997?"
For an illiterate household head, this will be the lunar month in the Muslim calendar corresponding to April 1997 (see Annex).
Circle the number corresponding to the answer given, in the following way:
[] 2 No
a. If the answer to the question asked is "no", circle number 2, and cross-out the summary table of the deaths in the last 12 months.
b. If the answer to the question is "yes", circle number 1, and fill in the summary table on deaths that occurred during the past 12 months.
However, before filling in this table, check one more time that the death well occurred during the reference period, that is during the 12 months prior to your visit in the household.
Filling in the summary table is done Column by Column.
D1. Were there any deaths in this household in the last 12 months (circle the number corresponding to the response).
If yes, get the name of each of the deceased in the household in D3, circle their sex in D4, record their date of birth in D5, their date of death in D6, and their age at death in D7. For the women deceased between ages 12 and 49, ask questions D8 to D10.
[Omitted example]
Based on the answer given, circle the appropriate code.
Instructions: In the situation where the CM is illiterate, the agent can refer to the lunar month corresponding to the month of the Muslim calendar.
[Pg. 35]
Caution: Avoid attaching the same death in several households. A death must be registered once and in a single household.
1. In this household, has anybody passed away in the past 12 months? (from August 1, 2006 to July 31, 2007)
Ask whether someone in the household passed away in the past 12 months. Always be careful not to omit information about the deceased persons, especially the newborns.

The aim of this question is to get the number of deaths that occurred in the household in the past 12 months before the night before Census day. The deaths should be recorded in the household where it happened.
Ask if there is anyone who died within the past 12 months, i.e. from August 23rd, 2001 to August 24th, 2002. If the answer is yes, then ask how many deaths occurred during that period. In case more than one death occurred in that period, get the exact number and write it in the corresponding box available. This will help you know if you have used one questionnaire or more depending on the number of deaths.
Make sure you get the date and month of each death that occurred in order to certify that the death occurred during that period of 12 months and not otherwise.

Pose the following question: - "Have there been any deaths in the household in the last 12 months? (since November 1st, 2009)?"
[Below this question is a table with 5 rows to deceased persons; 3 columns have these headings:]

If the answer is "yes" then the investigator circles "1", and asks Question 2. If the answer is "no", then the investigator needs to ask additional questions to verify the number of infants who died before circling "2". If no one in the household died in the above period, the investigator circles "2", and goes to the questions in Section II to obtain information about the house.
M-1 Has there been any death in this household since 1989?

There is a slight shift from the de facto method to the de jure on this particular question on deaths. Members who usually lived with the household are to be captured. The deaths should not be confused with deaths in the family. Deaths that occur after the census night are not to be recorded.
NB: The 'last twelve months' refer to the period between September 2011 and August 2012.
The order of asking this question is as follows:
Q34-37 Deaths in the household in the last twelve months
