We would like to check whether the salt used in your household is iodised.

Interviewer instructions

Once you have examined the salt, circle number that corresponds to test outcome.
In nutrition households (where there is a barcode label on the front of this form) only, now take a sample of salt for later iodine analysis in Vientiane.
