Question pretext
INTRODUCTION: Good (morning/afternoon). My name is %enum_id%, I am working with the High Frequency Survey Team, a Somali research organization that is conducting a study on the ECONOMIC SITUATION of families in %somsld%.
Your household has been RANDOMLY SELECTED to take part in this study. Your PARTICIPATION IS COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY. All information you share with me is COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL. This means that there will be no way
any information or answers you give me can be associated with your name. I also want to make it clear that there are no right or wrong answers. The survey won’t provide individual benefits to you, but the information will be used to
understand socioeconomic factors that influence poverty in %somsld%. WE DO THIS by looking at HOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURE and CONSUMPTION on food and non-food items. This information will be used to INFORM DEVELOPMENT
POLICIES of the government and local and international organizations to try and improve the lives of people in %somsld%. To be able to answer these questions accurately, I would like to speak to the head of the household
TOGETHER WITH THEIR PARTNER if possible. If they are not available, then I would like to talk to the man and/or the woman who would know most about what your household usually consumes and purchases. There are NO RISKS to
taking part in this study, and your identity will remain ANONYMOUS. You can stop taking part in the survey at any time. Please take as much time as you need to decide if you’d like to participate in this survey. You may ask me any questions
about the research project or the survey procedures that you’d like.
