Questions and instructions

Question pretext

Delayed Verbal Recall
I read you a list of words about 10 minutes ago. I will NOT repeat this list to you now, but could you please repeat to me as many of them as you can remember?

Interviewer instructions

INTERVIEWER: Demonstrate how to do the lung function test.
INTERVIEWER: Make sure to show the respondent that you are using a clean mouthpiece on the spirometer before starting. Take a short break in between each trial to give the respondent a chance to return to normal breathing.
We will ask you to practice once, then we will have you use it three times. Okay, are you ready? Take a deep breath, seal your lips around the mouthpiece and BLOW, BLOW, BLOW!
