The form was designed to record up to a maximum of eight deceased members per household. In cases where a household has nine deceased members or more, the investigator has to use a second form to continue to record. If the whole household died, write "The whole household is deceased" on the cover of the form, under "Investigation Form".<br /><br />In order to accurately collect the information concerning the number of household members who have died, the investigator needs to directly ask the question to the head of the household or the representative of the household: "Since the 30th of the Chinese New Year last year (on 1/27/1998 of the Gregorian calendar) until now, did anyone or any child die in the household?"<br /><br />Death information of the population is usually hard to collect, especially information about deceased or stillborn children. Therefore, in order to collect this information fully and accurately, the investigator needs to ask the questions skillfully to obtain the necessary information.<br /></svar></p>

<p><svar a="all" v="VN99A030 VN99A037 VN99A044"><span class="em">Question 6:</span> How old was (name) when he/she died?<br />Only ask Question 6 when the birth year in Question 5 cannot be verified. The investigator must ask to verify and record the complete age (excluding the additional months) of the deceased person. The investigator may not leave the line for this question blank, or write "no verification" on it. If all measures have been used, and the subject still cannot verify accurately the age of the deceased person, then estimate the age of the deceased person at the time of death and record the answer for this question (see instruction in Question 4).<br /></svar>
