Module codes and numbering

• Each module begins with the question number “1” preceded by two or three letters indicating the module subjecte.g. HL1 (List of Household Members)

CL4 ( Child Labour) MN17 (Maternal and Newborn Health)

MWB7 (Man’s Background)• Men Questionnaire’s question numbers are

preceded by ‘M’

Text

• Text written with SMALL CAPS to be read/asked to the respondent

Text

• Text in lowercase letters–Response categories–Cover page questions

Text

• Text in italics in the modules are instructions for the interviewers and not to be read out loud.

Other features

• “Questions” or “filters” with Aqua colour background: –to be completed by the interviewer

(based on previous responses or observations)

–should not be asked to the respondent

Types of Questions

• Questions with precoded responses,

• Questions without precoded responses,

• Filter questions

Questions with Precoded Responses

• For some questions, we can predict the types of responses a respondent will give.

• The responses are listed in the questionnaire, usually on the right, or below the question (if roster style)

• Responses are never to be read to the respondent unless included in the question

Questions with Precoded Responses

• Two types of response categories1. Numeric: Only one response can be circled

• e.g., WS5, CM1, BF2• e.g, HC3 (precoded plus other answers allowed)

Questions with Precoded Responses

• Two types of response categories2. Letter: Multiple responses can be circled

• e.g., HW3, IR2, • e.g., IS2 (precoded plus other answers allowed)

• The number or letter(s) which corresponds to the reply should be circled.

Questions with Precoded Responses

• In some cases, precoded responses will include an "other" category.

• Use “Other” when certain that the response does not fit in any precoded category

• Interviewers always write the respondent's answer in the space provided (specify: ______).

• Use margins, last page etc to provide more detail if necessary

fainting

Questions with Precoded Responses

The coding of ‘Don’t know’ and ‘other’:• In numeric response codes

– 8, 98, 998, 9998 = Don’t know / DK– 6, 96, 996, 9996 = Other (specify)

• In alphabetical (multiple response) codes– X = Other (specify)– Y = None, No one, or (additional) Other– Z = Don’t know / DK

Questions without Precoded Responses

• In entering the response for these questions the respondent's answer must be written in the space provided

• Usually a number or a date will be recorded in the spaces provided• e.g., HC2, HC14, CL9

• If the response has fewer digits than the number of spaces provided, leading zeroes have to be used

Questions without Precoded Responses

• Special cases: where a code is to be circled and a number is to be recorded– e.g., DB3, SB3

02

Questions to be Completed by Interviewers

(Precoded or not precoded)• Hour and Minutes

– e.g., HH18, HH19• Respondent’s characteristics

– e.g., HL7, ED2, • Observations

– E.g., HW2, HW3• Instructions to Interviewers

– e.g., TN3, CD1-CD8

Filters

• Filters require interviewers to look back to the answer to previous responses, then mark an X in the box and follow skip instructions– e.g., TN7, ML10

• They are used to prevent a respondent from being asked irrelevant questions.

• Interviewers should check back and mark an "X" in the appropriate box in the filter; then, follow the instructions.

X

X

Skip Instructions

• Used to avoid asking questions to the respondent which are not relevant to his/her situation – e.g., HL11, WS1, HC11

• When a particular response makes subsequent questions irrelevant, an instruction (usually an arrow ) is shown after the particular response directing us to skip to the next appropriate question.

• Skip instructions have to be followed

Customization

• During customization: Modules, Questions and Response Categories can have– Addition– Deletion– Change/Revise
