    01.

    In the data quality table below, there is a high percentage (22.2%) with missing\/incomplete information for 'All women age 15-49 with at least one live birth with year of first birth unknown.' Does it suggest low quality data for this particular question of this particular survey?

    That's correct!

    That's correct!.The correct answer is: No.The number of completed years since first birth is asked only from women who do not know the exact year of their first birth. From the table, there are only 18 women with at least one live birth with year of first birth unknown. Among these, 22.2 percent (i.e. only 4 women) did not know how many years passed since their first birth. Overall, there are few cases where women did not know the year of the first birth and only 4 were unable to provide the completed number of years since the first birth. This suggests that data quality on this aspect is not low.

    If a husband says during the Household Questionnaire interview that his wife is 49 years old, but the wife responds during the Questionnaire for Individual Women interview that she is actually 50, do we still interview her and complete the Questionnaire for Individual Women?

    That's correct!

    hat's incorrect.The correct answer is: No. We do not interview the woman. The age of all household members is collected in the Household Questionnaire using the household respondent. In this case, when answering the questions in the Household Questionnaire, the husband is a proxy respondent on information pertaining to his wife. However, the information obtained during individual interviews always overrules information provided by proxy respondents. Therefore, the interviewer should politely stop the interview, cancel the Questionnaire for Individual Women and make necessary corrections to the Household Questionnaire. The interviewer should also insert a short note on the back of the Household Questionnaire, but also keep the incomplete and cancelled questionnaire as part of the cluster documents (if needed for inspection during future data processing and for reference purposes)
