Interviewer instructions

Specify for one direction only, using the usual means of transport.

The aim of the question is to assess the distance travelled by individuals to reach their nearest health facility. Note that the options in the question are in terms of minutes, since it is easier for people to estimate time used to travel than estimating the distance they travel.
