Interviewer instructions
- This section of the questionnaire tries to ascertain the health of the population by examining the population’s degree of affliction by both serious illnesses and illnesses of a much milder nature. This section also examines the prevalence of chronic diseases which can eventually lead to death
- These questions try to establish the severity of illness/injury which are generally not life threatening by trying to determine the extent to which a segment of the population may be incapacitated due to the effect or lack thereof of these illnesses. If the respondent indicates that they were confined to a bed as a result of one of the conditions mentioned you must find out what that sickness was and fully describe it at Ques 2.2. Similar to Ques 2.1, Ques 2.3 inquires about illnesses which did not require the respondent’s confinement to bed for any period during the last 4 weeks. This question requires only that the respondent “suffer” from the illness to be classified with option 1 “Yes”. Please note that in either case it is appropriate to record crime or accident related injuries since these have increased in prominence over the past five years and are considered legitimate answers to these questions.
