Interviewer instructions
PN9 is similar to PN8, but here we are asking about a check on the health of the mother, not the newborn. It is important that the respondent understands that we are referring to health checks provided by the birth attendant before she left the premises after delivery.
PN9 is composed of two parts - a question and an explanation. Note that the explanation provides a series of examples to illustrate what we mean by a check on the mother's health; these are meant to be examples only so it is okay if the health check did not include these specific components. Make sure to read the explanation after asking the question so that the respondent understands the meaning of the question.
Note that we do not include health checks occurring immediately after delivery; if the respondent mentions a check that occurred 30 minutes after delivery, for example, probe to see if the attendant checked on her health after that but before leaving the home. Record '1' if 'Yes' or '2' if 'No' and continue to the next question.
