Interviewer instructions
This module is to be administered to all women age 15 through 49. The purpose of this module is to obtain information to help programme managers and policy makers plan more effective programmes to prevent HIV infection. The questions assess knowledge, attitudes and behaviour related to AIDS transmission, prevention, and testing for the virus that causes AIDS.
First, questions are asked to estimate the respondent's basic knowledge about HIV transmission and AIDS.
This question serves as an introduction and allows us to verify whether a respondent has heard of AIDS. If there is a local term for AIDS, use the local term in addition to the word "AIDS".
If a respondent has never heard of the HIV virus or AIDS, thank the woman. Check whether she is the mother or primary caretaker of any children that live with them and are under the age of 5 years by checking the Household Questionnaire, column HL8, for the woman's line number. If so, start interviewing her with the Questionnaire for Children under Five for those children.
If this woman is not the mother or primary caretaker of any children under 5 in the household, check if there is another eligible woman residing in the same household. If so, go on to administer the Questionnaire for Individual Women to the next eligible woman. Continue until you have completed questionnaires for all eligible women and children in the household.
