Description The Household Questionnaire was used to list all of the usual members and visitors in the selected households1. Basic information on each person listed was collected, including age, sex, education, and relationship to the head of the household. The main purpose of the Household Questionnaire was to identify all of the eligible women (age 15-49) and men (age 15-54) for individual interviews. In addition, information was collected about characteristics of the household, such as the source of water, type of toilet facilities, materials used to construct the household's dwelling, and ownership of various consumer goods. Data on child labour practises, use of bednets (mosquito nets), and nutritional status of children and women were also collected in the Household Questionnaire.
