Questions and instructions
Literal question
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?
Interviewer instructions
Note that in this module, you will most probably perform a test on a sample of salt provided by the respondent.
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. 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.
