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:experiencing stigma or problems as a result of or associated with the illness or death (that is, have you been treated differently or poorly by the community, friends or family members outside your household)?
