Questions and instructions

Literal question
230. Unfortunately many women have pregnancies that do not end in a live birth.
Sometimes a baby is still born, that is, the baby is born who does not breath or show any life. Other times women have a miscarriage or abortion early during a pregnancy.
It is very important in our study to know about such pregnancies so health programs can be developed for women.

USING THE INFORMATION IN THE CALENDAR, PROBE TO DETERMINE IF THE WOMAN HAD ANY STILL BIRTHS, MISCARRIAGES, OR ABORTIONS BACK TO JANUARY 2003.

IF THE WOMAN REPORTS A PREGNANCY THAT DID NOT END IN A LIVE BIRTH, ASK ABOUT THE MONTH AND YEAR IN WHICH THE PREGNANCY ENDED.

RECORD THE APPROPRIATE CODE FOR THE PREGNANCY OUTCOME ON THAT DATE IN COLUMN 2 IN THE CALENDAR ("S" FOR STILL BIRTH, "M" FOR MISCARRIAGE AND "A" FOR ABORTION).

THEN ASK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF MONTHS THE PREGNANCY LASTED AND RECORD "P" IN EACH OF THE PRECEDING MONTHS ACCORDING TO THE DURATION OF THE PREGNANCY.

NOTE: SINCE THE OUTCOME OF THE PREGNANCY IS RECORDED IN THE MONTH THAT PREGNANCY ENDED, THE NUMBER OF P's MUST BE ONE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF MONTHS THAT THE PREGNANCY LASTED.

ILLUSTRATIVE QUESTIONS

TO IDENTIFY NON-LIVE BIRTH PREGNANCIES, ASK:

INTERVAL BETWEEN CURRENT PREGNANCY AND PRIOR BIRTH (LAST BIRTH)
Did you have any pregnancy that ended in a still birth after the birth of (NAME OF LAST BIRTH) and before your current pregnancy? Or any pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage or abortion?

INTERVAL BETWEEN LAST AND PRIOR BIRTH
Did you have any pregnancy that ended in a still birth between (NAME OF LAST BIRTH) and (NAME OF PRIOR BIRTH)? Or any pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage or abortion?

INTERVAL BETWEEN NEXT-TO-LAST BIRTH AND PRIOR BIRTH
Did you have any pregnancy that ended in a still birth between (NAME OF NEXT-TO-LAST BIRTH) and (NAME OF PRIOR BIRTH)? Or any pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage or abortion?

WOMEN WITH NO LIVE BIRTHS BUT WITH CURRENT PREGNANCY
Before your current pregnancy, did you ever have any other pregnancy that ended in a still birth?
Or any other pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage or abortion?

WOMEN WITH NO LIVE BIRTHS AND NOT CURRENTLY PREGNANT
Have you ever had a still birth? If YES: When did the last still birth occur?
Have you ever had a miscarriage or abortion? If YES: When did the last miscarriage or abortion occur?

FOR EACH PREGNANCY TERMINATION, ASK
How many months pregnant were you when the pregnancy ended?
