Interviewer instructions

This question is only asked to respondents who suffered serious bodily injuries in the last 12 months of any cause except road traffic accidents, and received medical care for their injuries. The purpose is to identify the nature of the care received. The interviewer should emphasize where the respondent FIRST received care for their injuries. If the place of care was on-site (ambulance), hospital or other health facility, probe for whether the facility was in the public sector (run by the government) or private sector. If the respondent is not sure, prompt by reading the response options. If the first place where care was received falls under a different category not listed here, record “other”.
