Question 16
a) In total, how many children born alive have you had?
It is indispensable to emphasize the question in the sense that it refers to all children born alive, without making a distinction whether they have died or are currently alive. Keep in mind that women have the tendency to omit those children who died a short time after being born.
If the response is None, go to question 17.
