Interviewer instructions

Ask the woman to show you her/his health card, if available. If the weight is 'From card' or written record of the birth weight on a document (vaccination card, antenatal card, or birth certificate), circle '1' and enter the weight in the corresponding space. If the birth weight is reported by the mother, but no card or document is available, circle '2' for 'From recall' and enter the weight in the corresponding space.

Enter the birth weight in kilograms. Fill in the weight only once. Use zeros to fill in all digits if necessary. For example, if the woman tells you that the baby was 3.5 kilograms at birth; enter the information as '3.500'. Always record the birth weight from the card when possible.

If there is no card, and the mother cannot remember the exact weight, record her best estimate. Only circle '99998' for 'DK' if she absolutely cannot remember even the approximate weight.
