Interviewer instructions

The purpose of these questions is to determine the minimal content of the antenatal care visits. For the safety of pregnancy and its outcome not only the number of visits matter, but the type of medical procedures that were performed during those visits. The procedures recommended in these questions are a bare minimum that has to be delivered to a pregnant woman. If the respondent is confused about the meaning of the "blood sample", the interviewer has to explain that this a procedure when a nurse or a doctor takes a small amount of blood from her to check if everything is alright. A response of “yes” is appropriate if the procedures were performed at any time during any antenatal care visit during the course of the woman’s last pregnancy.
