Interviewer instructions

If the respondent knows her date of birth, record the 'Month' and 'Year'. You will need to convert the month into numbers. For example, January is '01', February is '02', March is '03', and so on.
• If the woman does not know her month of birth, record '98' for 'DK month' and ask her for the year of her birth.
• If she knows the year, record 'Year'.
• Try under all circumstances to obtain at least the year of birth. o If the respondent is unable to provide this information, ask whether she has any documentation such as an identification card, social security card, or a birth or baptismal certificate that might give her date of birth.
o If such documentation is available, ask the woman if the information on the document(s) is correct.
o Only when it is absolutely impossible to even estimate the year of birth should you record '9998' for 'DK year'.
