Interviewer instructions

You will begin by asking whether you may see the place where household members most often wash their hands. If the respondent agrees and you observe the facility, circle '1'. If there is no specific place in dwelling, plot, or yard, circle '2' and skip to HW4. If there is a place but permission is not granted to see it, circle '3'and skip to HW4. If the place used for handwashing is not observed for any other reason, circle '6' and skip to HW4.

In many cultures and crowded slum areas there may not be a designated place for hand-washing. Rather a movable object is used, like a bucket, basin, container or kettle, for people to wash or rinse their hands. Recording where such movable object is usually used for hand washing is important.
