Interviewer instructions
When asking this question, be sure to use the name of the child you are referring to, so that
there is no confusion.

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. Circle the codes
corresponding to all persons assisting at the delivery. Use the below codes.

'A' - Doctor
'B' - Nurse/midwife
'C' - Auxiliary midwife
'D' - Traditional birth attendant
'E' - Relative/friend
'F' - Other
'Z' - No one

If you are unsure where to code a person mentioned, write it in the space provided 'Other'
and circle 'F'.
