Interviewer instructions
Probe for the type of person assisting and record all answers given.
Record the code for the person who assisted with the delivery. Probe: "Anyone else?" and record the codes for any other persons assisting with the delivery of this child.
Doctors, nurses and midwives 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.
Probe for the type of person who assisted with the delivery. If the woman is not sure of the status of the person who attended the delivery, for example, if she doesn't know whether the attendant was a midwife or a traditional birth attendant, probe further and try to identify. Record the codes corresponding to all persons assisting at the delivery. If you are unsure where to code a person mentioned, write it at 'Other' and record 'X'. If no one attended the delivery, record 'Y'.
