Interviewer instructions
7.7. LFQ fertility questions 26-32
The remaining questions are only asked of women aged 12 to 54 years old. If you are asking questions for a male, or a female 11 years old or less or 55 years or older, stop and go to the next person listed on the questionnaire. In the 15 states of North Sudan, these questions are not asked of never married females as reported in Q24.
Q26 "What is the total number of children [the respondent] has ever born alive? (even if the child was only alive for a short time and died soon after birth)" Continuing with the first person listed "Person 01" who is female 12 to 54 years (and not never-married in the 15 states of North Sudan), ask question 26.
Attempt to ask these questions directly to females 12-54 years old (and not never married in the 15 states of Northern Sudan). The respondent for the household may not be able to supply the information for questions 26 through 32.
Write the total number of males ever born alive to the respondent in the boxes under the column "male" and the number of females ever born alive in the boxes under the column "female".
You must use two digits in the boxes provided as some women may have had more than 9 live births.
Use leading zeroes, for example if she has only one male child you should write "01" and not just "1".
If she did not have any male births then write "00" in the "male" column. Do the same for the female children born to the respondent.
Shade in the numbers corresponding to the numbers written in the boxes.
Do not leave these questions blank for any female aged 12 to 54 years (and not never married in the 15 states of Northern Sudan.)
