Interviewer instructions

The point of this question is to identify the child's last period of illness. Three principal causes of death in children under five are diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria. The questions about these and other childhood illnesses aim to determine how children with these problems are treated, and the extent of their contact with the health care system. The time from the child’s last incidence of illness should be recorded in the appropriate box. If the interviewer is not clear about time he/she should probe according to options given in the questionnaire.
