Field edited by (Name and number):

Make every attempt to carry out the woman's interview in privacy. Ask all other household members or anyone else who is present (including male members of the survey team) to leave in a courteous manner. 

If the respondent is a mother/caretaker, ask her to collect all the birth certificates and health/ immunization cards she has for her children or the children she cares for before you begin the interview. You will need these when you go on to interview her about her children under age five.

Repeat greeting if not already read to this woman: “We are from (country-specific affiliation). We are working on a project concerned with family health and education. I would like to talk to you about these subjects. The interview will take about (number) minutes. All the information we obtain will remain strictly confidential and your answers will never be shared with anyone other than our project team. May I start now?” 

If you are starting to interview the same person that you have completed the household interview with, you need to read a revised version of the greeting (see below) as the time to complete the questionnaire for individual women will be different than the household questionnaire and normally a separate consent is required to do this interview.

Now I would like to talk to you more about your health and other topics. This interview will take about (number) minutes. Again, all the information we obtain will remain strictly confidential and your answers will never be shared with anyone other than our project team. May I start now?”

Survey Coordinators: When the questionnaires are customized, replace (country-specific affiliation) with the name of the implementing agency in your country. 
estimate the approximate duration of the woman's interview during the pre-test and replace (number) with this estimate.

As with the similar sentence at the beginning of the Household Questionnaire, you may change the wording of these introductory sentences as appropriate. You must make sure, however, to include the following when you are introducing yourself: The name of the implementing agency; the topic of the survey; approximate duration of the interview; the issue of confidentiality; and with whom you would like to speak. 

If permission is given, begin the interview. If the respondent does not agree to continue, complete WM7, thank her and go on to the next interview. Later, discuss the refusal with your supervisor; you or another person from the team may attempt to interview the woman for a second time. This will depend on your description of the refusal. However, remember that a woman's participation in the survey must be on a voluntary basis, and potential respondents must never be forced to participate.

Leave this space blank. The field editor will later enter his/her name and number in the space provided when checking the completed household questionnaires.
