Probe: WHAT IS HIS/HER BIRTHDAY?
If the mother/caretaker knows the exact birth date, also enter the day; otherwise, circle 98 for day.
If the mother/caretaker knows the exact birth date, also enter the day; otherwise, circle 98 for day.
Note that you may modify the first sentence based on the number of children in the respondent's care. If this is the only child the respondent cares for, change the sentences to "NOW I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HEALTH OF (name). IN WHAT MONTH AND YEAR WAS (name) BORN?"
Ask the mother or primary caretaker for the child's date of birth. Probe: "WHAT IS HIS/HER BIRTHDAY?" It is important to record the child's month and year of birth accurately.
If the mother/primary caretaker knows the exact birth date, including the day, enter the day of birth. Otherwise, circle '98' for 'DK day'. You do not need to probe further for day of birth.
Convert the month to a number as you have done before. Enter the number in the space provided. If the month or day contains only one digit, use a leading zero. For example, the month of March is coded as '03'. Note that you are not allowed to enter DK for month or year of birth. You have to obtain month and year of birth of the child.
Since all MICS3 surveys will be conducted in 2006 or 2007, the year of birth of the child cannot be earlier than 2001 (for surveys in 2006) or 2002 (for surveys in 2007).
If the mother/primary caretaker is unable to provide the date of birth information, horoscope, or a birth or baptismal certificate that might give the date of birth of the child. However, confirm with the respondent that the date of birth recorded on such documents is indeed correct.
