Literal question
From where did you seek advice or treatment? Probe: Anywhere else?
Post-question
Circle all providers mentioned, but do NOT prompt with any suggestions. Probe to identify each type of source. If unable to determine if public or private sector, write the name of the place.
Interviewer instructions
After the first reply, probe by asking: “Anywhere else?” until all providers are mentioned. However, do not suggest or prompt any answers. Circle the code for every provider mentioned. If the source of care is a hospital, health centre or clinic, write the name of the place in the space provided on the questionnaire. Ask whether the source is in the public (run by the government) or private sector. If the source is in the public sector, but is not one of the pre-coded choices, write the description in the space provided for 'Other public' and circle 'H'. Similarly, if the source is in the private medical sector, but is not one of the pre-coded choices, write the description in the space provided for 'Other private medical' and circle 'O'. If the respondent answers that he/she sought care from another place not listed, write the description of the place in the space provided for 'Other' and circle 'X'. Then write the name of the place in the space provided on the questionnaire (Name of place) and tell your supervisor. Your supervisor will learn from other people in the community whether the place is public or private and then circle the code corresponding to the response.
