Interviewer instructions
For women whose husbands have been away for 12 months or longer, ask how often her husband came home in this period. It could be that he came home at least once a week or once a month or even less frequent, or he never came home in the last 12 months.
Example: The respondent says her husband is away for 3 years and currently working and living in Middle East, but came back home twice in the last 12 months during Christmas and Easter. Record '3' in YEAR in Q221, and '2' in Q223.
Q. 223a: Asks all women if there was any time when she and the husband were separated for 2 or more months due to work, visiting relatives or any other reason. Please skip to Q338 for those who were not separated for 2 or more months during the inter-survey period.
