Questions and instructions
Literal question
Has (name) had an illness with a cough at any time in the last two weeks, that is, since (day of the week) of the week before last?
Post question
If answer is 2 or 8 > Go to question CA12
Interviewer instructions
Illness with a cough means a cold or other acute respiratory illness with a cough.

Circle the code corresponding to the response given. If the respondent says "He coughs all the time" or "She's been coughing for months", do not count this as an "illness with a cough" since it is a chronic problem. If the answer is 'No' or 'DK', circle the appropriate code and skip to CA12. If the symptoms started before but continued into the two-week period, this counts as 'Yes'.
