Questions and instructions
Literal question
Is (name's) natural father alive?
Post question
If answer is 2 or 8 > Go to next person of HL module
Interviewer instructions
By "natural" we mean the biological father. In many cultures, people consider other people's children whom they are raising as their own, especially children of their wife or brothers, etc. You should be certain that the respondent understands that you are asking about the man who is biological father of the child.
Record whether or not the child's natural father is still alive by circling the code corresponding to the response given. If the child's natural father is not alive or if the respondent does not know, skip to the next module. Otherwise, continue to the question in the next column.
