Data Collection Notes
Data were collected through verbal interviews, conducted by southern Sudanese survey staff, working in one or more of the local languages. The information acquired was entered by the interviewer into a pre-prepared questionnaire (in English), designed to record the data of five households. In Section 'C' of the questionnaire, probing knowledge of HIV/AIDS, male interviewers were instructed to direct questions to the youngest man in the household above 18 years of age and female interviewers the youngest women in the household above 18 years of age; - In Section 'D' the key respondent was the senior mother or caretaker - one respondent per household.
Questionnaires
The questionnaire was divided into six sections: 1) Cover Page: Cluster / Interviewer Details, 2) Household Listing: Demographic Details of up to 5 Households, 3) Section A: Questions for Children Under 5 Years, 4) Section B: Questions for Children Aged 5-17 Years, 5) Section C: Questions on HIV/AIDS, for Men & Women of 18+ Years, 6) Section D: Questions on General Household Data; - In Sections 'A' and 'B' of the questionnaire the reference person for questioning was the mother (or principal 'caretaker') in the household. Where more than one other/caretaker was present in the same household data was collected from each, starting with the mother of the youngest child, within the particular age group. Information was collected on all the children, in both age groups, of household mothers/caretakers.
