Questions and instructions

Literal question

In the past 7 days, how many hours did [NAME] spend seeking medical care (either for himself/herself or a family member) or caring for sick household members (either at home or in the hospital)? For example, travelling to a health establishment, waiting, being treated, buying medicine, feeding the patient, etc.

Interviewer instructions

This asks for the time spent by the individual seeking medical care for himself/herself or other household members (in the past 7 days). These questions are different from the questions in the health questionnaire, which ask about an illness in the past 4 weeks or on health expenditures on all other illnesses in the past 4 weeks. Please note all of the time lost to illness in the past 7 days and the time spent seeking medical care in the past 7 days (include travel time to the health care center or chemist).
