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 or treatment for their injuries. The purpose is to identify the timing of the care received. The interviewer should emphasize when the respondent FIRST received care for their injuries. If the respondent is unsure or does not remember, probe if someone else told them when they first received care. Prompt by reading the response options and record the appropriate answer.
