Questions and instructions

Question pretext

The next questions ask about the impact of providing care on you. I am going to ask whether you face some problems related to your health and well-being since you began providing care for any household members. We want to know how you and your health have been affected by your caregiving duties.

Literal question

As a result of providing care, or the increase in providing care, over the last 12 months, how much difficulty have you had with:knowing the correct care to provide for health problems for this person(s) (for example, knowing the best treatment, getting access to medicines (like anti-retrovirals), knowing how to protect yourself, as the caregiver, from getting the illness/disease)?
