1. MICS4 Survey Design Workshop Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys Survey Design Workshop Questionnaire for Individual Women: Post-natal health check module

2. MICS4 Survey Design Workshop Background The mortality risks for both mother and newborn are highest during the first couple of days after birth. Requests from within UNICEF as well as the from wider international development community for standardized data on post-natal care contacts for mother and baby. This module was developed by the global MICS programme in collaboration with other development partners.

3. MICS4 Survey Design Workshop Measures contact with a provider not content of care. Focus of data collection on PNC visit: –In the case of facility deliveries contact occurring after discharge. –In the case of home deliveries, the focus will be on any contact with a care provider after the TBA/birth attendant leaves the home. Note that structure of module allows for addition of questions on content, if desired. Overview of module

16. MICS4 Survey Design Workshop Methodological issues New module and not a lot of experience yet. Module will require careful training and practice due to lots of skip patterns. This new approach should allow for more precise measurement of PNC visits (versus intrapartum or immediate postnatal care).
