Interviewer instructions

Qs. 823-827 address the roles of the woman and her husband or partner in making various household decisions. Decision-making can be a complex process so the emphasis is again on who usually makes a specific decision. Choose the response code most appropriate after you hear the respondent's answer to each type of decision. select RESPONDENT only if the woman says that she alone mainly makes the decision. When her husband or partner alone usually makes the decision, ' select 'HUSBAND/PARTNER.' If she and her husband usually consult about decisions, select 'RESPONDENT AND HUSBAND/PARTNER JOINTLY.' If, for example, she says that her in-laws usually make the decisions about the item in question (e.g., what food to purchase), then select 'SOMEONE ELSE'; if she says that she/he decides jointly with someone else, select JOINTLY WITH SOMEONE ELSE; if another person not listed in the options makes the decision, select OTHER and specify.
