Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Questions for women only from 12 to 50 years of age</span>
<br />The following questions are extremely important and at the same time very sensitive. Try to obtain accurate answers, formulating the questions clearly and correctly record the answers.
<br />Pay attention to the responses to detect whether there are inconsistencies, because the questions are interrelated.
<br />To identify women who should answer the following questions should check the age stated in P4.</p>

<p><span class="em">P31. Of your children born alive in the last 12 months, how many of them are still alive?</span>
<br />Read the question, wait for the reply. This question is also related to P30. The interviewee should say, of all children declared in Q30, how many are alive at census date. Write down the number stated in the space provided.
<br />Keep in mind that:</p>
<div class="i1">- You must include this question only the children themselves;<br />-You should not include in this question the children born after August 2, 1997.</div><p>The census enumerator must pay close attention when filling this question, because the number obtained in this question may not be superior to the previous question (P30). Can only be equal or lower.
<br />Continuing with the example of P30, but assuming that the male child died. We will have:
<br />Men 1 |0| 2 Women |1|
