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
