Question pretext
FOR EACH SHOCK LISTED (cf. Shock code), CHECK 'yes' OR 'no' DEPENDING ON WHETHER THE HOUSEHOLD EXPERIENCED THE SHOCK OR NOT. ONCE YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH THE LIST, RANK THE 3 MOST SEVERE SHOCKS ( DO NOT RANK MORE THAN 3 SHOCKS). FOR EACH OF THESE 3 SHOCKS, YOU NEED TO ENTER MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON FORM T5GA.
Interviewer instructions
Before the start of this section, you should give them a reference point of until when the 5 years period goes back. Do NOT consider shocks that happened BEFORE the period, even if the household still feels the consequences now.
SHOCK is defined by SUDDEN situation, different from usual. Also, SHOCK is different from CONSEQUENCES OF SHOCK. For instance, HUNGER is NOT a shock, but a consequence. When respondent says 'yes', repeat to him 'within five years?'.
We suggest you to note down the description of the shock that the respondent gives associated to this question in the Windows Journal, so you can use this description later for the ranking question Q2 in that section. That is, you should use the descriptions to summarize the shocks before asking the respondent to rank them. It is important to note that a shock may only be reported ONCE. Also, be alert when the respondent answer is 'yes'. Based on the description he/she gives to this shock, you should decide yourself in which category the shock belongs. You should select 'no' if there is no 'other' shock, for all other 1, other 2 and other 3.
