Notes
Main household questionnaire. The main respondent for the household-level questionnaire is the head of household and/or spouse, although they may ask for support from other household members on specific questions regarding the household. A Health Knowledge module was administered to the spouse of the core respondent.
The household survey includes eight sections:
