Questions and instructions

Question pretext

Now I would like to ask you about everything that (name) ate yesterday during the day or the night. Please include foods consumed outside of your home.

Think about when (name) woke up yesterday. Did (he/she) eat anything at that time? If ‘Yes’ ask: Please tell me everything (name) ate at that time. Probe: Anything else?

Record answers using the food groups below.
- What did (name) do after that? Did (he/she) eat anything at that time?

Repeat this string of questions, recording in the food groups, until the respondent tells you that the child went to sleep until the next morning.

For each food group not mentioned after completing the above ask:
Just to make sure, did (name) eat (food group items) yesterday during the day or the night?

Literal question
