Interviewer instructions

This question is only asked if the youngest child in the household under age 5 was reported to have ever been ill, and refers to the last period of illness. The purpose is to assess home care practises of caregivers for sick children. Young children should not be given less food when presenting the symptoms recorded in questions Q6551 to Q6558. The interviewer should be sure to read the entire question before accepting a response. If the respondent says that the child is being exclusively breast fed (has not yet been weaned and does not eat any solid food), the interviewer should mark the response as "never gave food".
