Interviewer instructions
This question aims to elicit the reason for non-registration.
Circle the code corresponding to the response. Note that although there might be more than one reason for not registering a child, we need to get only one response - the most important one according to the mother/primary caretaker. If the response is definitely not one of the pre-coded responses, circle '7' for 'Other' and specify the response in the space provided. If don't know circle 8.
