Since Independence Day 1990, 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, 1990, of anyone who had, up until their death, been a member of this household. The relevant portion of the sample questionnaire on page 15 is shown below:

If the person was under 1 year at death enter 00.

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. You will also have to fill in all the geographical identity codes on the next page (district, EA, locality, lolwapa/house and household numbers).
