Interviewer instructions
If power outages are seasonal the interviewer should ask the respondent to calculate the number of outages in a typical month, excluding both the months in which outages are most frequent and the months where outages are most infrequent.
The concept of a typical month must be well understood since it is used several times throughout the questionnaire: it is the most common type of month in the year regarding the characteristic being asked. Thus, for answers such as “electrical outages once every 3 months” in a typical month there are 0 outages (since there will be outages only in 4 months of the year and in the rest 8 months there will be no outages). For the answer “once every other month” write 1 since there will be 6 months with outages and 6 months without them.
