Interviewer instructions
TIME USE: (Do not read) Ask the respondent how she spent time on the last weekday - not Saturday or Sunday. For Somali/Muslim respondents, ask about the previous Thursday if the last weekday was a Friday. Start with waking up, and ask her to describe each activity during the day. Do not read the activities; ask about each hour of the day. Mark an X for each hour. Indicate one activity per hour - there should only be one item marked in each column. Upon completion of the entire question, go back and add up the total amount for each activity by counting Xs. Put the number of Xs in the column named “total” the shaded box immediately to the right of the name of the activity. When all activity totals are added together, it should equal 20 Xs or 20 hours. THERE SHOULD BE JUST ONE X BY COLUMN AND NO EMPTY COLUMNS!
