Interviewer instructions

These questions are aimed at finding out if women have had a fistula- which causes the woman to lose control of her urine and fecal matter. This condition causes stigma and has led to the isolation of women even by her husband and close family. It is a condition that can be easily fixed through surgery yet due to its embarrassing nature, women suffer in silence. The questions first seek to establish under what circumstances the fistula developed and whether or not the woman has sought medical attention to repair the damage.
