Interviewer instructions

The first question of the module is used to determine if the rest of the module and several subsequent modules should be administered to this woman. If the answer is 'Yes' circle '1', and continue with the next question. If the woman says she has never given birth, read out the probe to make sure the woman understands the meaning of "birth", as described during your training. Explain: "I mean, to a child who ever breathed or cried or showed other signs of life - even if he or she lived only a few minutes or hours?" If her answer is still 'No', skip directly to the Marriage Module.
