Questions and instructions

Literal question

How many months in the past 12 months did you purchase ..[FOOD]..?

Interviewer instructions

Not all foods are purchased year-round; some are seasonal. The worksheet in Part A provides information on seasonal purchases. Using this information, ask the respondent to estimate how many months during the last year the household consumed food that it had purchased. If the food item is purchased in all 12 months of the year, record “12” here. If a food was not purchased by the household during the past 12 months, write “0” and skip to Q.5. All months marked with “P” or “M” on the previous worksheet page should be counted as months in which purchases took place.

Question post text

IF NONE WRITE ZERO AND GO TO Q5.
