Interviewers are supposed to carry out the following tasks:
Ø Read all survey materials and understand the contents.
Ø Ensure that all fieldwork materials are brought to field for interviews.

Ø Carefully complete all relevant parts of the cover page of the questionnaire for each visit.
Ø At the first visit, complete the household part of the questionnaire with the head of household or another knowledgeable adult.
Ø Use the information from the household questionnaire to identify all members aged 7 years and above.
Ø Administer the time use diaries immediately if any of these members are present at the household. If any are absent, ask what will be the best time to find them. Go back at that time to complete the diaries.
