File: hh

Households with a completed household questionnaire (HH9=1).

Interviewer

- List each of the children aged 2-14 years below in the order they appear in the Household Listing Form. Do not include other household members outside of the age range 2-14 years.  
- Record the line number, name, sex, and age for each child.  
- Then record the total number of children aged 2-14 in the box provided (CD6).

If there is only one child age 2-14 years in the household, then skip table 2 and go to CD8; write down '1' and continue with CD9.

The purpose of this module is to obtain information on the use of physical and verbal means of disciplining children. The module aims to measure a range of discipline and punishment responses, from non-violent approaches to psychological aggression to moderate and severe forms of physical punishment. 

Survey Coordinators: If you plan to include this module, extra training for interviewers, editors and supervisors will be required. Questions in this module may ask about disciplinary methods that are very common and others that are strongly condemned, even prohibited, and this will vary a good deal among countries. Extra time is required to practise using these questions, in role-playing training sessions and during pilot interviews. Note that the field staff may have strong views on these disciplinary actions, and you must ensure that their views do not interfere with the collection of the information in the module. 

Survey Coordinators: Great care must be taken with the translation of questions in this module. The questions refer to disciplinary methods ranging from non-violent methods to psychological aggression to physical punishment. Note that we do not ask about the consequences of these actions, but only whether the actions have occurred. Practices common in one culture may be absent in another. The discipline items in the module have been chosen with expert assistance and aim to include behaviours that are universal - And that range from common behaviours to rare ones. When correctly translated, these practices should be understood and applicable in virtually all settings. Please read the Instructions for each question to ensure that you and your translators know what is meant by each one. 

The module has a unique structure and approach. You will use the first part to select, randomly, the child for whom you will be asking the questions CD9-CD22. These questions are placed in the second part of the module, and are designed to collect information about disciplinary methods used by the mother or primary caretaker for the selected child.

Table 1 is used to list all Children aged 2-14 Years Eligible for Child Discipline Questions. As described in the module itself, you will review the Household Listing and list each of the children aged 2-14 years (including children age 2 and age 14) in the table in order according to their line number (HL1). You should not include other household members outside of the age range of 2-14 years. One by one, record the line number (HL1), name (HL2), sex (HL4), and age (HL6) from the Household Listing Form to the columns CD2, CD3, CD4, and CD5 for each child age 2-14 years.

Then record the total number of children aged 2-14 years in the box provided (CD6).

Count the number of children and record the total number of children aged 2-14 years in the box provided.

If there is only one child aged 2-14 years in the household, then skip Table 2 and go to CD8; write down '1' and continue with CD9 to administer the questions on child discipline to the mother or the primary caretaker of this child.

If there is more than one eligible child on the list, go on to fill in Table 2.
