This dataset corresponds to the follow-up questionnaire, which was administered at each follow-up home visit after the first (baseline) home visit for both OTP-cured and community control children. All follow-up visits for each recruited child are included in this dataset. The dataset contains data at the level of the household, as well as data at the level of the recruited child and their mother (which is also at the level of the household given that only child per household was selected). The dataset includes the data from all modules of the follow-up questionnaire.
This dataset has been anonymised for confidentiality purposes and therefore all identifying information have been removed from the data.
The unique identifier of this dataset is 'child_id' + 'round_fu'. This dataset can be linked to all other datasets using the unique child ID (child_id). It can also be linked to the health facility dataset using the facility ID (hf_id).
There are some non-response observations in the data. A response of 'don't know' is coded as '999' in the dataset; a missing response (i.e. a response should have been provided but was not) is denoted as '.a' in the dataset; and a skipped response (i.e. a valid non-response due to a skip in the questionnaire) is denoted as '.' in the dataset.
Note that not all modules from this questionnaire were administered at every follow-up. As mentioned in the protocol above, at every follow-up the child's MUAC was measured and data was collected on illnesses they may have experienced in the preceding two weeks and their breastfeeding status. However, at the exit round/visit (which is either the visit when the child has developed SAM or the final 12th visit if the child had remained SAM-free), additional modules were administered to the mother of the child to collect data on mother's employment, deaths in the household, household food security, mother's knowledge on feeding, mother's networks, mother's reproductive history, and child and household dietary diversity. The follow-up questionnaire indicates which modules and questions were asked at every follow-up and which were only asked at the exit round. Note that for the children that dropped out of the study either because household withdrew consent for participation or because household moved away, the exit round modules were not administered (that is because the enumerator did not know that the last round they visited the household was going to be the final one).
