| Description |
The questionnaire had two main sections, namely, a household section and a section on women and children.
a) The first section served two purposes. One was to list all the usual members and visitors in the selected household together with some basic information about them-such as age, education, marital status, nature of residence, and relationship to the head of household. This information was used to identify eligible women and children for the main interview and also to provide denominators for analysis of some of the household characteristics. The second purpose was to collect information on characteristics of the household's dwelling. Information of this type included source of drinking water, toilet facilities, construction materials of the home, land tenure, garbage disposal, ownership of livestock and various durable goods, use of iodized salt, and use of mosquito nets (including treated nets). There were also questions about several non-communicable diseases, adequacy of basic requirements for school-going children, and information about orphanhood. Children under five and women 15-49 were eligible to be weighed and measured and have their haemoglobin level measured. |
