Interviewer instructions

This question is only asked to respondents who reported keeping any medicines at home. This question refers to any drugs or medicines, whether prescribed by a health professional or not, that the respondent is currently using for a health condition. The question also serves to screen out those who are not currently taking any drugs or medicines. The interviewer should be patient while the respondent looks for their medicines. It is especially important for the interviewer to maintain a good rapport with the respondent, as some respondents may be reluctant to show the contents of their household medicine cabinet.
