Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">Section V. Eating habits</span>
<br />If you used more than one questionnaire to request information from people, you must register the information of this section in the last questionnaire. This section has four questions. Before asking these questions, read the introductory text: "Now I'm going to ask about eating habits".</p>
<p><span class="em">1. Adult's eating and 2. Food intake of adults</span>
<br />Both questions identify households with adults, i.e. of 18 years or older, who have trouble satisfying their nutritional needs for lack of money.</p>
<p>[Figures are omitted]</p>
<p>Read the questions, mention their options, listen to the answer and circle the corresponding code for each one. To obtain useful information, it is very important that the answers refer to:</p>
<div class="i1">[] The last three months.<br />[] Dietary restrictions caused exclusively by lack of money.<br />[] People aged 18 years or older or the head if he/she is under 18 years old.</div><p>When the informant has doubts about "food variety", take into account that it refers to the availability of diverse food, calories, and nutrients in order to satisfy the needs of a balanced diet; i.e., they provide the nutrients required for daily energy use (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates); they allow maintenance or achieving the ideal weight and provide vitamins and minerals. Therefore, "unvaried eating" means that people do not consume various types of food (vegetables, fruits, cereals, and meat).</p>
<p>If the respondent asks "what they should eat" answer that it is referred to the ideal diet considered by he/she, that is, what does he/she think they should eat in the house.</p>
<p>If the informant has doubts about what "hunger" means, answer that it refers to the painful physical and emotional sensation caused by recurrent and involuntary food shortages.
