Interviewer instructions
Before you go to a selected household, fill in the identification information in the box at the top of the cover page. The identification information is obtained from the sample household listing and will be given to you by your supervisor.
The following are key points in completing the identification section:
· Write the name of the place or locality in which you are working.
· Write the name of the head of the household that you are to interview.
· Record the Cluster number, Household number, and the code for the region in the
boxes to the right of those lines.
You will fill in the rest of the cover page after you have conducted the interview. See the instructions in Section C (RETURN TO COVER PAGE) below.
To complete the Household Questionnaire, you will need to find a suitable respondent. Any adult member of the household who is capable of providing information needed to fill in the
Household Questionnaire can serve as the respondent. If an adult is not available, do not interview a young child or a neighbour; instead, go on to the next assigned household, and call back at the first household later.
Generally you will ask a single individual in the household for the information you will need to complete the household questionnaire. However, as appropriate, you may need to consult other members of the household for specific information.
