The 1996 Papua New Guinea household survey is designed to measure the living standards of a random sample of PNG households. As well as looking at the purchases, own-production, gift giving/receiving and sales activities of households over a short period (usually 14 days), the survey also collects information on education, health, nutrition, housing conditions and agricultural activities. The survey also collects information on community level access to services for education, health, transport and communication, and on the price levels in each community so that the cost of living can be measured.
There are many uses of the data that the survey collects, but one main aim is for the results to help government, aid agencies and donors have a better picture of living conditions in all areas of PNG so that they can develop policies and projects that help to alleviate poverty. In addition, the survey will provide a socio-economic profile of Papua New Guinea, describing the access that the population has to agricultural, educational, health and transportation services, their participation in various economic activities, and household consumption patterns.
The survey is nationwide and the same questionnaire is being used in all parts of the country, including the urban areas. This fact can be pointed out if households find that some of the questions are irrelevant for their own living circumstances: there are at least some Papua New Guinean households for which the questions will be relevant and it is only by asking everyone the same questions that living standards can be compared.
The survey covers all provinces except Noth Solomons.

The Household Listing Form and Selection of the Sample Listing of households is the first job to be done after the team has settled in and completed the introductions to the community. Listing is best done by the whole team working together. This way they all get to know the community and its lay-out. However, if the census unit is too large this wastes too much time. So before beginning asks how many households there are, very roughly, in the census unit (noting that teams are supplied with the number of households that were there in the 1990 census). If the answer is 80 or more, divide the team into two and have each half-team work on one sector of the community/village. See the section below on what to do when the listing work is divided up.
If the census unit is a "line-up point" that does not correspond to any single village or community the number of households will often exceed 200 and frequently they are also quite dispersed. In this case it is not practical to attempt to list the whole census unit, so a decision is made in advance to split the census unit into smaller areas (perhaps groupings of clans). First, a local informant must communicate the boundaries of the census unit and for natural or administrative sub-units with the larger census unit (such as hamlets; or canyons/valleys). The sub-units should be big enough to allow for the selection of a set of households (about 30 or more), but should not be so large that excessive transport time will be needed each day just to find the household. Once the subunit is defined, its boundaries should be clearly described. Then one of the smaller units is randomly selected and the procedures outlined above are then followed to complete the listing. Note: only one of the sub-units are listed, sample chosen, and interviews undertaken.
The most important thing in the listing is to be sure that you list all the households and only the households belonging to the named village or census unit (or subset of the census unit if it is a line-up point). In rural areas, explain to village leaders at the beginning: "We have to write down all the households belonging to (Name) village." In case of doubt, always ask: "Does this household belong to (Name) village?" In the towns, the selected area is shown on a map. Check that the address where you are listing is within the same area shown.
Also explain: "We only write down the name of the head of household. When we have the list of all the households, we will select 12 by chance, for interview."
Procedure for Listing The listing team walks around in every part of the village, accompanied by a guide who is a member of the village. If possible, find a person who conducted the 1990 Census in this community or someone with similar knowledge of the community and ask them to be your guide. Make sure you go to all parts of the village, including outlying hamlets. In hamlets, on in any place far from the centre, always check: "Do these people belong to (Name) village?"
In every part of the village, ask the guide about every house: "Who lives in this house? What is the name of the household head?" Note that you do not have to visit every household. At best, you just need to see each house but you do not need to go inside it or talk to anyone who lives there. Even the rule of seeing each house may be relaxed if there are far away household for which good information can be provided by the guide.
Enter the names of household heads in the lines of the listing form. One line is used for each household. As the lines are numbered, the procedure gives a number to each household. When you come to the last house, check with the guide: "Are you sure we have seen all the houses in the village?"
NOTE: It does not matter in what order you list the households as long as they are all listed. After the listing is complete, check that all lines are numbered consecutively with no gaps, from start to finish. The number on the last line should be exactly the number of households listed.
Note: If the list is long (say more than 30 households) interviewer may encounter difficulties when looking for their selected household. One useful way to avoid this is to show the approximately the place in the list here certain landmarks come. This can be done by writing in the margin, CHURCH or STORE or whatever. You can also indicate where the lister started in a hamlet, for example.
Sample Selection The sampling work is done by the supervisor. The first steps are done at the foot of the first page of the listing form. The steps to be taken are as follows:
MR: multiply M by R and round to the nearest whole number. (If decimal 0.5, round up).
MR gives the 1st selection. (Exception: If MR=0, L gives the first selection.) Enter S against this line in the selection column of the list.
Count down the list, beginning after the 1st selection, a distance of L lines to get the 2nd selection, then another L to get the 3rd, etc. When you come to the bottom of the list, jump back to the top as if the list were circular. Stop after the 15th selection. Mark the 13th, 14th, and 15th selections "RES" (for reserve). Mark the 1st - 12th selection "S" (for selection).

The 1996 Papua New Guinea Household Survey questionnaire consists of three basic parts:
Household questionnaire first visit: asks a series of questions about the household, discovering who lives there, what they do, their characteristics, where they live, and a little about what kinds of things they consume. This questionnaire consists of the following sections. - Section 1. Household Roster - Section 2. Education - Section 3. Income Sources - Section 4. Health - Section 5. Foods in the Diet - Section 6. Housing Conditions - Section 7. Agricultural Assets, Inputs and Services - Section 8. Anthropometrics - Section 9. Household Stocks
Consumption recall (second visit questionnaire): is focused primarily on assessing the household's expenditure, gift giving and recieving, production, and level of wealth. The information in the first and second visits will provide information that can determine the household's level of consumption, nutrition, degree of food security, and ways in which it organizes its income earning activities. This questionnaire consists of the following sections. - Section 1. Purchases of Food - Section 2. Other Frequent Purchases - Section 3. Own-production of Food - Section 4. Gifts Received: Food and Frequent Purchases (START) - Section 5. Annual Expenses and Gifts - Section 6. Inventory of Durable Goods - Section 7. Inward Transfers of Money - Section 8. Outward Transfers of Money - Section 9. Prices - Section 10. Repeat of Anthropometric Measurements - Section 11. Quality of Life
Community Questionnaire: which is completed by the interview team in consultation with community leaders. This questionnaire also includes market price surveys that are carried out by the team when they are working in the community. Associated with this is a listing of all households in the community, which has to be done prior to the selection of the 12 households. This questionnaire consists of the following sections. - Section A. Listing of Community Assets - Section B. Education - Section C. Health - Section D. Town or Government Station - Section E: Transport and Communications - Section F. Prices - Section G. Changes in Economic Activity, Infrastructure, and Services

The Thai Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS) was a nationally representative sample survey conducted from March through June 1988 to collect data on fertility, family planning, and child and maternal health. A total of 9,045 households and 6,775 ever-married women aged 15 to 49 were interviewed. Thai Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS) is carried out by the Institute of Population Studies (IPS) of Chulalongkorn University with the financial support from USAID through the Institute for Resource Development (IRD) at Westinghouse. The Institute of Population Studies was responsible for the overall implementation of the survey including sample design, preparation of field work, data collection and processing, and analysis of data. IPS has made available its personnel and office facilities to the project throughout the project duration. It serves as the headquarters for the survey.
The Thai Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS) was undertaken for the main purpose of providing data concerning fertility, family planning and maternal and child health to program managers and policy makers to facilitate their evaluation and planning of programs, and to population and health researchers to assist in their efforts to document and analyze the demographic and health situation. It is intended to provide information both on topics for which comparable data is not available from previous nationally representative surveys as well as to update trends with respect to a number of indicators available from previous surveys, in particular the Longitudinal Study of Social Economic and Demographic Change in 1969-73, the Survey of Fertility in Thailand in 1975, the National Survey of Family Planning Practices, Fertility and Mortality in 1979, and the three Contraceptive Prevalence Surveys in 1978/79, 1981 and 1984.
National
The population covered by the 1987 THADHS is defined as the universe of all women Ever-married women in the reproductive ages (i.e., women 15-49). This covered women in private households on the basis of a de facto coverage definition. Visitors and usual residents who were in the household the night before the first visit or before any subsequent visit during the few days the interviewing team was in the area were eligible. Excluded were the small number of married women aged under 15 and women not present in private households.
Sample survey data
SAMPLE SIZE AND ALLOCATION
The objective of the survey was to provide reliable estimates for major domains of the country. This consisted of two overlapping sets of reporting domains: (a) Five regions of the country namely Bangkok, north, northeast, central region (excluding Bangkok), and south; (b) Bangkok versus all provincial urban and all rural areas of the country. These requirements could be met by defining six non-overlapping sampling domains (Bangkok, provincial urban, and rural areas of each of the remaining 4 regions), and allocating approximately equal sample sizes to them. On the basis of past experience, available budget and overall reporting requirement, the target sample size was fixed at 7,000 interviews of ever-married women aged 15-49, expected to be found in around 9,000 households. Table A.I shows the actual number of households as well as eligible women selected and interviewed, by sampling domain (see Table i.I for reporting domains).
THE FRAME AND SAMPLE SELECTION
The frame for selecting the sample for urban areas, was provided by the National Statistical Office of Thailand and by the Ministry of the Interior for rural areas. It consisted of information on population size of various levels of administrative and census units, down to blocks in urban areas and villages in rural areas. The frame also included adequate maps and descriptions to identify these units. The extent to which the data were up-to-date as well as the quality of the data varied somewhat in different parts of the frame. Basically, the multi-stage stratified sampling design involved the following procedure. A specified number of sample areas were selected systematically from geographically/administratively ordered lists with probabilities proportional to the best available measure of size (PPS). Within selected areas (blocks or villages) new lists of households were prepared and systematic samples of households were selected. In principle, the sampling interval for the selection of households from lists was determined so as to yield a self weighting sample of households within each domain. However, in the absence of good measures of population size for all areas, these sampling intervals often required adjustments in the interest of controlling the size of the resulting sample. Variations in selection probabilities introduced due to such adjustment, where required, were compensated for by appropriate weighting of sample cases at the tabulation stage.
SAMPLE OUTCOME
The final sample of households was selected from lists prepared in the sample areas. The time interval between household listing and enumeration was generally very short, except to some extent in Bangkok where the listing itself took more time. In principle, the units of listing were the same as the ultimate units of sampling, namely households. However in a small proportion of cases, the former differed from the latter in several respects, identified at the stage of final enumeration: a) Some units listed actually contained more than one household each b) Some units were "blanks", that is, were demolished or not found to contain any eligible households at the time of enumeration. c) Some units were doubtful cases in as much as the household was reported as "not found" by the interviewer, but may in fact have existed.
Face-to-face
The DHS core questionnaires (Household, Eligible Women Respondent, and Community) were translated into Thai. A number of modifications were made largely to adapt them for use with an ever- married woman sample and to add a number of questions in areas that are of special interest to the Thai investigators but which were not covered in the standard core. Examples of such modifications included adding marital status and educational attainment to the household schedule, elaboration on questions in the individual questionnaire on educational attainment to take account of changes in the educational system during recent years, elaboration on questions on postnuptial residence, and adaptation of the questionnaire to take into account that only ever-married women are being interviewed rather than all women. More generally, attention was given to the wording of questions in Thai to ensure that the intent of the original English-language version was preserved.
a) Household questionnaire
The household questionnaire was used to list every member of the household who usually lives in the household and as well as visitors who slept in the household the night before the interviewer's visit. Information contained in the household questionnaire are age, sex, marital status, and education for each member (the last two items were asked only to members aged 13 and over). The head of the household or the spouse of the head of the household was the preferred respondent for the household questionnaire. However, if neither was available for interview, any adult member of the household was accepted as the respondent. Information from the household questionnaire was used to identify eligible women for the individual interview. To be eligible, a respondent had to be an ever-married woman aged 15-49 years old who had slept in the household 'the previous night'.
Prior evidence has indicated that when asked about current age, Thais are as likely to report age at next birthday as age at last birthday (the usual demographic definition of age). Since the birth date of each household number was not asked in the household questionnaire, it was not possible to calculate age at last birthday from the birthdate. Therefore a special procedure was followed to ensure that eligible women just under the higher boundary for eligible ages (i.e. 49 years old) were not mistakenly excluded from the eligible woman sample because of an overstated age. Ever-married women whose reported age was between 50-52 years old and who slept in the household the night before birthdate of the woman, it was discovered that these women (or any others being interviewed) were not actually within the eligible age range of 15-49, the interview was terminated and the case disqualified. This attempt recovered 69 eligible women who otherwise would have been missed because their reported age was over 50 years old or over.
b) Individual questionnaire
The questionnaire administered to eligible women was based on the DHS Model A Questionnaire for high contraceptive prevalence countries. The individual questionnaire has 8 sections: - Respondent's background - Reproduction - Contraception - Health and breastfeeding - Marriage - Fertility preference - Husband's background and woman's work - Heights and weights of children and mothers
The questionnaire was modified to suit the Thai context. As noted above, several questions were added to the standard DHS core questionnaire not only to meet the interest of IPS researchers hut also because of their relevance to the current demographic situation in Thailand. The supplemental questions are marked with an asterisk in the individual questionnaire. Questions concerning the following items were added in the individual questionnaire: - Did the respondent ever
Pursuant to Local Laws 126, 127, and 128 of 2016, certain demographic data is collected voluntarily and anonymously by persons voluntarily seeking social services. This data can be used by agencies and the public to better understand the demographic makeup of client populations and to better understand and serve residents of all backgrounds and identities.
The data presented here has been collected through either electronic form or paper surveys offered at the point of application for services. These surveys are anonymous.
Each record represents an anonymized demographic profile of an individual applicant for social services, disaggregated by response option, agency, and program. Response options include information regarding ancestry, race, primary and secondary languages, English proficiency, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
Idiosyncrasies or Limitations:
Note that while the dataset contains the total number of individuals who have identified their ancestry or languages spoke, because such data is collected anonymously, there may be instances of a single individual completing multiple voluntary surveys. Additionally, the survey being both voluntary and anonymous has advantages as well as disadvantages: it increases the likelihood of full and honest answers, but since it is not connected to the individual case, it does not directly inform delivery of services to the applicant. The paper and online versions of the survey ask the same questions but free-form text is handled differently. Free-form text fields are expected to be entered in English although the form is available in several languages. Surveys are presented in 11 languages.
Paper Surveys
1. Are optional
2. Survey taker is expected to specify agency that provides service
2. Survey taker can skip or elect not to answer questions
3. Invalid/unreadable data may be entered for survey date or date may be skipped
4. OCRing of free-form tet fields may fail.
5. Analytical value of free-form text answers is unclear

The Department of Social Development (DSD) commissioned a set of socio-economic and demographic baseline studies in the 22 nodes that make up the Integrated Sustainable Rural Development Programme (ISRDP) and Urban Renewal Programme (URP), coupled to a management support programme, that ran from 2006 to 2008. The nodes – 14 of which fall under the ISRDP and 8 of which fall under the URP – were selected because of the deep poverty in which many of their citizens live. The ISRDP and URP aimed to transform their respective nodes into economically vibrant and socially cohesive areas initially through anchor projects to kick-start the programmes, and then through better co-ordination between departments geared to providing an integrated suite of services to all citizens, especially those living in poverty. The point of both programmes is the more efficient and effective use of existing government resources, rather than operating as standard, stand-alone programmes with a dedicated budget. Two surveys were commissioned: a larger baseline in 2006 and a smaller measurement survey in 2008. In the interim, the Department implemented a national, provincial and nodal support programme while considering and reacting to the findings of the first phase of background reports and qualitative nodal-level evaluations. The second survey sought to detect changes (good or bad) that occurred in the interim period.
Units of analysis included households and individuals
The survey covered all adult household members, that is, those aged 18 and above
Sample survey data [ssd]
The Baseline Survey The 2006 baseline survey sought to conduct 400 interviews in each of the 14 ISRDP nodes and the 8 URP nodes. In order to allow for comparisons with the ISRDS (as it then was) baseline statistics published by Statistics South Africa in 2002, the 400 interviews for Maluti-a-Phofung were spread across the whole district municipality of Thabo Mofutsanyane. The adult population aged 18 and older according to the Census 2001 was used as the sample frame. For the ISRDP nodes, the sample was stratified by local municipalities to ensure sufficient interviews were conducted in each municipality. According to the principles of probability proportional to size sampling (PPS), a list of place names in each of the local municipalities was then generated as a starting point for the fieldwork. At each starting point in the ISRDP nodes five interviews were conducted. For the URP nodes, detailed maps at a ward level were generated from the Municipal Demarcation Board website. Again using the principles of probability proportional to size sampling (PPS), starting points across the different wards were identified on the maps. At each starting point in the URP nodes four interviews were conducted. At the end of the fieldwork phase a total of 8 387 interviews across the 22 nodes had been conducted. Once the information from each interview had been coded and captured on computer, the realised samples in each of the ISRDP nodes were weighted back to the actual population figures across each local municipality. It should be noted that on the one hand, 8 400 is a very large sample with a margin of sampling error of only 1.1%. However, when the data are analysed at nodal level, each of the 22 samples of 400 have a larger sampling error of 4.9%.
The Measurement Survey The 2008 measurement survey sought to conduct 250 interviews in each of the 14 ISRDP nodes (except in Bushbuckridge and Maruleng, where 250 interviews were divided across the two nodes according to population size) and the 8 URP nodes. In order to allow for comparisons with the 2006 baseline survey, the 250 interviews for Maluti-a-Phofung were spread across the whole district municipality of Thabo Mofutsanyane. For comparative purposes, the sample frame (the adult population aged 18 and older according to the Census 2001) and list of starting points from the 2006 baseline survey was used. For the ISRDP nodes, the following steps were followed: The sample for each node was firstly stratified by local municipalities (to ensure sufficient interviews were conducted in each municipality). Within each municipality, the sample was then stratified by settlement type (rural versus urban). According to the principles of probability proportional to size sampling (PPS), a random list of place names in each municipality was then generated. At each place name, the fieldworkers were instructed to find a school (if multiple starting points at one place, subsequent starting points were at different schools or crèches). From the school, they then walked in the direction of dwellings and started at first dwelling - thereafter, every fifth dwelling was selected. The birthday rule was used to select the respondent at each selected dwelling - this random process seeks to interview the adult in the household whose birthday is next. For the ISRDP nodes, five interviews were conducted per starting point. For the URP nodes, the following steps were followed: ?. The sample for each node was firstly stratified by wards. Within each ward, the sample was then stratified by settlement type (formal versus informal types). Detailed maps at a ward level were generated from the Municipal Demarcation Board website. According to the principles of probability proportional to size sampling (PPS), a random series of starting points in each ward were then generated using a random grid of points. From the identified starting point, the fieldworkers proceeded in the direction of the centre of the node and interviewed at the first dwelling they came to - thereafter, every fifth dwelling was selected. The birthday rule was again used to select the respondent at each selected dwelling. For the URP nodes, four interviews were conducted per starting point. At the end of the fieldwork phase a total of 5 232 interviews across the 22 nodes had been conducted. Note, while 5 250 is a large sample with a margin of sampling error of only 1.4%, a nodal sample of 250 has a far larger sampling error of 6.2%. For both surveys, sampling and weighting was undertaken by Ross Jennings of Strategy & Tactics.

The 1996 Papua New Guinea household survey is designed to measure the living standards of a random sample of PNG households. As well as looking at the purchases, own-production, gift giving/receiving and sales activities of households over a short period (usually 14 days), the survey also collects information on education, health, nutrition, housing conditions and agricultural activities. The survey also collects information on community level access to services for education, health, transport and communication, and on the price levels in each community so that the cost of living can be measured.
There are many uses of the data that the survey collects, but one main aim is for the results to help government, aid agencies and donors have a better picture of living conditions in all areas of PNG so that they can develop policies and projects that help to alleviate poverty. In addition, the survey will provide a socio-economic profile of Papua New Guinea, describing the access that the population has to agricultural, educational, health and transportation services, their participation in various economic activities, and household consumption patterns.
The survey is nationwide and the same questionnaire is being used in all parts of the country, including the urban areas. This fact can be pointed out if households find that some of the questions are irrelevant for their own living circumstances: there are at least some Papua New Guinean households for which the questions will be relevant and it is only by asking everyone the same questions that living standards can be compared.
The survey covers all provinces except Noth Solomons.
Sample survey data [ssd]
The Household Listing Form and Selection of the Sample Listing of households is the first job to be done after the team has settled in and completed the introductions to the community. Listing is best done by the whole team working together. This way they all get to know the community and its lay-out. However, if the census unit is too large this wastes too much time. So before beginning asks how many households there are, very roughly, in the census unit (noting that teams are supplied with the number of households that were there in the 1990 census). If the answer is 80 or more, divide the team into two and have each half-team work on one sector of the community/village. See the section below on what to do when the listing work is divided up.
If the census unit is a "line-up point" that does not correspond to any single village or community the number of households will often exceed 200 and frequently they are also quite dispersed. In this case it is not practical to attempt to list the whole census unit, so a decision is made in advance to split the census unit into smaller areas (perhaps groupings of clans). First, a local informant must communicate the boundaries of the census unit and for natural or administrative sub-units with the larger census unit (such as hamlets; or canyons/valleys). The sub-units should be big enough to allow for the selection of a set of households (about 30 or more), but should not be so large that excessive transport time will be needed each day just to find the household. Once the subunit is defined, its boundaries should be clearly described. Then one of the smaller units is randomly selected and the procedures outlined above are then followed to complete the listing. Note: only one of the sub-units are listed, sample chosen, and interviews undertaken.
The most important thing in the listing is to be sure that you list all the households and only the households belonging to the named village or census unit (or subset of the census unit if it is a line-up point). In rural areas, explain to village leaders at the beginning: "We have to write down all the households belonging to (Name) village." In case of doubt, always ask: "Does this household belong to (Name) village?" In the towns, the selected area is shown on a map. Check that the address where you are listing is within the same area shown.
Also explain: "We only write down the name of the head of household. When we have the list of all the households, we will select 12 by chance, for interview."
Procedure for Listing The listing team walks around in every part of the village, accompanied by a guide who is a member of the village. If possible, find a person who conducted the 1990 Census in this community or someone with similar knowledge of the community and ask them to be your guide. Make sure you go to all parts of the village, including outlying hamlets. In hamlets, on in any place far from the centre, always check: "Do these people belong to (Name) village?"
In every part of the village, ask the guide about every house: "Who lives in this house? What is the name of the household head?" Note that you do not have to visit every household. At best, you just need to see each house but you do not need to go inside it or talk to anyone who lives there. Even the rule of seeing each house may be relaxed if there are far away household for which good information can be provided by the guide.
Enter the names of household heads in the lines of the listing form. One line is used for each household. As the lines are numbered, the procedure gives a number to each household. When you come to the last house, check with the guide: "Are you sure we have seen all the houses in the village?"
NOTE: It does not matter in what order you list the households as long as they are all listed. After the listing is complete, check that all lines are numbered consecutively with no gaps, from start to finish. The number on the last line should be exactly the number of households listed.
Note: If the list is long (say more than 30 households) interviewer may encounter difficulties when looking for their selected household. One useful way to avoid this is to show the approximately the place in the list here certain landmarks come. This can be done by writing in the margin, CHURCH or STORE or whatever. You can also indicate where the lister started in a hamlet, for example.
Sample Selection The sampling work is done by the supervisor. The first steps are done at the foot of the first page of the listing form. The steps to be taken are as follows:
MR: multiply M by R and round to the nearest whole number. (If decimal 0.5, round up).
MR gives the 1st selection. (Exception: If MR=0, L gives the first selection.) Enter S against this line in the selection column of the list.
Count down the list, beginning after the 1st selection, a distance of L lines to get the 2nd selection, then another L to get the 3rd, etc. When you come to the bottom of the list, jump back to the top as if the list were circular. Stop after the 15th selection. Mark the 13th, 14th, and 15th selections "RES" (for reserve). Mark the 1st - 12th selection "S" (for selection).

The 1996 Papua New Guinea Household Survey questionnaire consists of three basic parts:
Household questionnaire first visit: asks a series of questions about the household, discovering who lives there, what they do, their characteristics, where they live, and a little about what kinds of things they consume. This questionnaire consists of the following sections. - Section 1. Household Roster - Section 2. Education - Section 3. Income Sources - Section 4. Health - Section 5. Foods in the Diet - Section 6. Housing Conditions - Section 7. Agricultural Assets, Inputs and Services - Section 8. Anthropometrics - Section 9. Household Stocks
Consumption recall (second visit questionnaire): is focused primarily on assessing the household's expenditure, gift giving and recieving, production, and level of wealth. The information in the first and second visits will provide information that can determine the household's level of consumption, nutrition, degree of food security, and ways in which it organizes its income earning activities. This questionnaire consists of the following sections. - Section 1. Purchases of Food - Section 2. Other Frequent Purchases - Section 3. Own-production of Food - Section 4. Gifts Received: Food and Frequent Purchases (START) - Section 5. Annual Expenses and Gifts - Section 6. Inventory of Durable Goods - Section 7. Inward Transfers of Money - Section 8. Outward Transfers of Money - Section 9. Prices - Section 10. Repeat of Anthropometric Measurements - Section 11. Quality of Life
Community Questionnaire: which is completed by the interview team in consultation with community leaders. This questionnaire also includes market price surveys that are carried out by the team when they are working in the community. Associated with this is a listing of all households in the community, which has to be done prior to the selection of the 12 households. This questionnaire consists of the following sections. - Section A. Listing of Community Assets - Section B. Education - Section C. Health - Section D. Town or Government Station - Section E: Transport and Communications - Section F. Prices - Section G. Changes in Economic Activity, Infrastructure, and Services
