Interviewer instructions
Probe for the type of person seen and record all answers given.
Doctors, nurses/midwives and medical assistants are skilled health personnel who have been trained to proficiency in the skills needed to manage normal (uncomplicated) pregnancies and the immediate postnatal period, or to refer obstetric complications. 'Traditional birth attendants' and 'community health workers/nurse aide' are not considered skilled health personnel even if they have received training.
Record the code for the person seen for antenatal care. Probe to learn if she saw more than one person by asking "Anyone else?" and record the codes for any other persons seen for antenatal care during this pregnancy. If you are unsure how to code a person mentioned, write the words used to describe the person at 'Other' and record 'X'.
If the woman gives the name of a health facility, ask her to tell you who she saw there.
