Question 31: This is a filter question. The enumerator checks Question 3 and Question 4 (or Question 5). If the respondent is a female (Question 3 marked (x) in the small box on the line with the word "Female") aged 15 - 49 years old (Question 4 has recorded for the month and year of birth between April 1959 to March 1994, or Question 5 recorded from "15" to "49"), the enumerator then asks Question 32.
Thus, the following persons will not be asked the subsequent questions; the enumerator will move to ask and record the questionnaire for the next household member. If the household does not have any more members, the enumerator will move to ask and record the questionnaire for Part 2: Mortality information:
- All men (Question 3 marked (x) in the small box next to code "1");
- Women that for Question 3 marked (x) in the small box next to code "2", but their months and years of birth in Question 4 were recorded from March 1959 and before (or Question 5 was recorded from "50" - "95");
- Women that for Question 3 marked (x) in the small box next to code "2", but their months and years of birth in Question 4 were recorded from April 1994 to March 2009 (or Question 5 was recorded from "00" - "14").
The enumerator must meet with women of ages 15 - 49 years old in each household to ask them questions on their reproduction histories.
Question 32: Have you ever given birth?
Women who have given birth are those who have given births to live children (that is after delivering, the child shows at least one sign of being alive such as: crying, breathing, heartbeat, placenta cord moving, etc.), not including stillbirths (died in mother"s womb).
If the answer is "Yes" (ever given birth), the enumerator marks (x) in the small box next to code "1", and then asks questions 33a to 34b. If the answer is "No" (never given birth), the enumerator marks (x) in the small box next to code "2", and then moves to interview the next person. If the household has no other persons, the enumerator moves to ask and record Part 2: Mortality information.
