Interviewer instructions
This question aims to determine whether the child was given an antibiotic for the illness. More than one medicine may have been administered to the child. After the first reply, probe by asking: “Any other medicine?” until all medicines are mentioned. Circle the codes corresponding to all medicines given. Survey Coordinators: The respondent may not know the name of the medicine or whether it was an antibiotic or another medicine. Talk to experts and collect information on the type of antibiotics commonly used in the country before you customize your questionnaire. Develop the response categories to this question to include locally used antibiotics. During the pre-test, find out whether there are other categories that need to be included. Depending on the number of different brands used in the country, provide lists of antibiotics or other medicines to interviewers. if necessary, provide them with sample packages or photos of packages of antibiotics and other medicines. These may be used by interviewers during interviews to ask respondents to identify the one(s) given to the child. If the respondent does not know the name of the medicine, ask him/her to show you the medicines. If he/she cannot show the packaged medicine, follow the guidelines provided to you during training. If the respondent names a medicine that is not listed, circle 'X' for 'Other' medicine and fill in the name of the medicine in the space provided. If you cannot determine the type of medicine given to the child with a cough, circle 'Z' for 'DK'.
