Title	Distribution lists for the 1946 Maternity Survey
Date	1946
Description	Forms containing lists of mothers who had given birth in one week in March 1946, compiled for a nationwide survey of maternity. The mothers on these lists were then visited by a health worker for a questionnaire interview several weeks after giving birth. This study later went on to become the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD), collecting data at regular intervals from a sample of the babies born in this week in 1946. These forms are arranged by Local Authority Number, which range from 1 to 460. Each form is a list of new mothers in that particular local authority, using the following columns: - ‘Mother’s Name’; - ‘Mother’s Address’; - ‘Date of Delivery’; - ‘Whether live or still-birth’; - ‘Name of Institution or Address where Delivered’; - ‘Name of Health Visitor undertaking the Interview’; - ‘If interview not obtained given reasons here’; - ‘Tick here when completed Questionnaire returned by Health Visitor’.
