Questionnaires
Demographic and Health survey 2001-2002 - Household Questionnaire
Author(s) Central Statistical Office
Date 2001-10-01
Country Zambia
Language English
Contributor(s) ORC Macro of Calverton
Description The Household Questionnaire was used to list all the usual members and visitors in the selected households. Some basic information was collected on the characteristics of each person listed, including his or her age, sex, education, and relationship to the head of the household. The main purpose of the Household Questionnaire was to identify women and men who were eligible for the individual interview. The Household Questionnaire collected information on characteristics of the household's dwelling unit, such as the source of water, type of toilet facilities, materials used for the floor of the house, ownership of various durable goods, and ownership and use of mosquito nets. The Household Questionnaire was also used to record height and weight measurements of women 15-49 and children under the age of 6, and, where syphilis and HIV testing was conducted, to record the respondents' consent to the testing. In order to maintain confidentiality, separate forms were used for recording the results of the syphilis and HIV testing.

Description The Men's Questionnaire was administered to all men age 15-59 living in every third household in the ZDHS sample.

Description Malnutrition is one of the most important health and welfare problems among infants and young children in Zambia. It is a result of both inadequate food intake and illness. Inadequate food intake is a consequence of insufficient food available at the household level, improper feeding practices, or both. Improper feeding practices include both the quality and the quantity of foods offered to young children, as well as the timing of their introduction. Poor sanitation puts young children at increased risk of illness, in particular, diarrheal disease, which adversely affects their nutritional status. Both inadequate food intake and poor environmental sanitation reflect underlying social and economic conditions.

Malnutrition has significant health and economic consequences, the most serious of which is an increased risk of death. Other outcomes include an increased risk of illness and a lower level of cognitive development, which results in lower educational attainment. In adulthood, the accumulated effects of long-term malnutrition can be a reduction in workers’ productivity and increased absenteeism in the workplace. These may reduce a person’s lifetime earning potential and ability to contribute to the national economy. Furthermore, malnutrition can result in adverse pregnancy outcomes.
