Questions and instructions
We would like to check whether the salt used in your household is iodized.
May I see a sample of the salt used to cook the main meal eaten by members of your household last night? What is the outcome of the test for salt iodization?
Circle '1' if the test is negative (not iodized). Circle '2','3' if the test shows iodine (iodized). Circle '8' if there is 'No salt in home'. Circle '9' if the salt was present, but not tested for any reason.
This question 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.
