After questionnaires for all children are complete, the measurer weighs and measures each child. Record weight and length/height below, taking care to record the measurements on the correct questionnaire for each child. Check the child's name and line number on the household listing before recording measurements.

Measurer's name and number:

Weights and heights of all eligible children under five in the household will be measured after all the Questionnaires for Children Under Five are completed. However, if some respondents or children have to leave the household before all questionnaires in the household have been completed, or if a call-back has to be made to interview another respondent, it is best to complete the measurements on those children who are present. The most important thing is not to miss measuring those who are eligible.

Measurement of heights and weights will be the responsibility of measurers. Each fieldwork team will have one set of measuring boards and weighing scales. Therefore, once you have completed the questionnaires and are ready to start anthropometric measurements, you should call upon measurers to join you in the household, together with the equipment.

Although the measurer will be the main team member responsible for anthropometric measurements, other fieldwork staff will also receive training on how to weigh and measure children. In some cases, the entrance of measurers to the household may not be possible; in such cases, if it is not possible for the measurer to measure the child outside, interviewers may perform the measurements inside the household, with the assistance of the mother. 

Each child will be weighed and measured, and the results will be recorded in his/her questionnaire. Be sure the weight for each child is recorded on the correct questionnaire. Procedures for weight and height measurements are discussed in detail in Chapter II.5. This section is confined to explaining how the results will be coded.

You should enter the name and two-digit identification number of the person who performed the measurements in the space provided. This would normally be the measurer.
