Interviewer instructions
Record the first five symptoms named by the respondent. If there are fewer than five symptoms named, leave the remaining columns blank. Although you should probe for additional symptoms, please do not suggest any specific symptoms to the respondent. Instead, try as best as possible to have the respondent be as specific as possible. For example if she says general weakness, probe for what this might entail.
Question post text
