Interviewer instructions

Circumcision involves the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis. Circumcision may be performed for religious, medical, or cultural reasons and can be carried out at birth, during adolescence, or at other times during a man's life. If a respondent does not know what circumcision is or says that he does not know whether or not he is circumcised, use the DON'T KNOW code.
