Interviewer instructions
For females age 13 or older (Questions 32-38)

This information is extremely important and should therefore be answered directly by each girl or woman as much as possible.

Definitions:

Live-born
This is a child who showed some sign of life at birth (breathing, crying, muscular movement or heart beat), even if s/he later died.




Question 35. What was the date of birth of [the woman]'s last live-born child?

The informant may confuse information about the youngest child who is currently living and the last live-born child. In this case read the question again and clarify that it relates to the date of birth of the last live-born child, even if the child later died.

Use two digits to indicate the day and month and four digits to write the year of birth of the last live-born child, regardless of whether this child is currently living or has died. For example, if the child was born on June 21, 2003, write the following:
Day: "21"; Month: "06"; Year: "2003"
