Interviewer instructions
This item is used to record the type of salt used to prepare the family's main meal the day before the questionnaire is administered, and the outcome of the test for salt iodization.
Once you have a sample of salt, perform the test and circle the code that corresponds to the test outcome. Circle '1' if the test is negative (0 parts per million/no colour - not iodized). Circle '2' if the test shows less than 15 parts per million iodine (weak colour). Circle '3' if the test is positive (15 parts per million or more, strong colour). Circle '6' if there is 'No salt in home'. Circle '7' if the salt was present, but not tested for any reason.
If the respondent indicates that no salt was used to cook the main meal last night, or that no meal was cooked, ask for a sample of the salt usually used for cooking in the household, and perform the test on this sample of salt.
The Household Questionnaire ends with two questions that will confirm the presence (or absence) of other individuals you may need to interview in this household. If there is at least one woman in the household eligible for the Questionnaire for Individual Women, you will proceed to interview that woman. If not, you will check if there are any eligible children, and interview their mother/primary caretaker if there is at least one such child residing in the household.
