Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.

Interviewer instructions

Once you have examined the salt, circle number that corresponds to test outcome.
In nutrition households (where there is a barcode label on the front of this form) only, now take a sample of salt for later iodine analysis in Vientiane.
