Interviewer instructions

This question is asked in order to know the perception of the household regarding sufficiency of food. While putting this question to the informant, it is thus presumed that the informant has a clear understanding of its meaning. There are equivalent phrases conveying the same meaning in regional languages. It is, therefore, important to put the proper question in the local language and record the answer given by the informant in the appropriate code.

Care should be taken to see that the informant is not offended by this question. The question should, in fact, not be asked to those whose reported consumption would obviously indicate that they get sufficient food to eat. In item 1, if the members of the household are reported as getting enough food every day throughout the year, the code to be entered in the box space of this block is 1. If adequate food is available in only a few months of the year, code 2 will be noted. Code 3 will indicate that the household does not usually get enough food every day for all its members. Here the reference period is last 12 calendar months preceding the date of enquiry.
