A birth registration form is used to register a live birth born for women who are members of the DSS. Live birth is defined as a pregnancy outcome that showed signs of life, such as movement or crying, after being delivered. Irrespective of how long they lived after birth, all children who were born alive should be recorded using this form. Note that there might be a tendency for some women to report a pregnancy outcome whose child died immediately after birth as a stillbirth; this should be a live birth. You should also be aware of some cultural practices that may affect a response to this question. For instance, in some cultures, a child is not considered as a “human being” until after certain rituals are conducted. Appropriate questions needed to link the birth with its mother should be included. Because the new born is going to be considered as DSS member, applicable questions from base line census questionnaire should be asked.
