The remaining questions are only asked of women aged 12 to 54 years old. If you are asking questions for a male, or a female 11 years old or less or 55 years or older, stop and go to the next person listed on the questionnaire. In the 15 states of North Sudan, these questions are not asked of never married females as reported in Q24.

Q30 - Q32 refer to the children born to females aged 12 - 54 during the 12 months before census night.

Q32 "How many of these children born in the last 12 months are still alive?" Continuing with the same female respondent, who answered yes "1" to question 30, ask question 32.

• Write the number of living male and female children in the boxes under the respective male and female columns.
• Shade in the numbers corresponding to the numbers written in the boxes.

Verifying the number of children:

• Check that the number of males alive (Q32) is not more than the number of males born (Q31).
• Check that the number of females alive (Q32) is not more than the number of females born (Q31).
• If the alive numbers are greater than the born numbers, ask the respondent to verify which numbers are correct.
