Interviewer instructions
First, ask whether the child's natural mother is alive. By “natural” we mean the biological mother, that is, the woman who gave birth to the child. In many cultures, people consider other people's children whom they are raising their own, especially children of their husband or sisters, etc. So you should be certain that the respondent understands that you are asking about the child's biological mother.

If the mother is still alive, ask the question in Column (14) to determine whether she lives in the household or is a visitor. If the mother does live in the household or is a visitor, ask who she is (she should be listed on the schedule if she lives in the household or is a visitor) and record her Line Number in Column (14). If the child's biological mother is still alive but does not live in the household and is not a visitor, record '00' in the boxes in Column (14). Column (14) will be blank only when the child's biological mother is no longer alive or the respondent is not sure if the mother is alive.
