Interviewer instructions
In this question, we seek to identify the area in which the respondents have been impaired. As stated on the questionnaire, more than one oval may be shaded if appropriate. The categories are straightforward and include three senses (sight, hearing and speech), parts of the body and mental impairment (slowness or learning or understanding and mental retardation). For mental retardation you are not expected to try to distinguish between those named – just accept the responses as given. If other is circled the response must be written.
