Father's Column 79 Mother's Column 80 .... 78 ........ 79-80 ~ The purpose of this item in the code is several- fold; but primarily it is designed to detect biases which might arise due to unequal attrition ratio among the exposure subclasses. It also affords some measure of the accuracy of the reports of death. Selec- tion was by terminal registration digit and hence some of the infants selected were known to be still- born or to have died during the neonatal period. For the latter cases, the statement at 9 months could be collated with the information available on the at-birth records.
