Interviewer instructions
CA13 is used to filter out children aged 3, 4 and 5 years, since the next question is to be asked only of children under age three. Check UF11; if the child is under three (he/she is 0, 1 or 2 years old), mark the box corresponding to 'Yes' and continue with the next question. If the child is not under three (she/he is 3, 4 or 5 years old), mark the box corresponding to 'No' and skip to CA14. --- The purpose of this question is to know what was done with the most recent stools passed by the child in the household. The safe disposal of children's stools is of particular importance because children's stools are the most likely cause of faecal contamination to the immediate household environment. Correct disposal of stools is linked with lower risks of diarrhoea. Respondents are asked where they usually dispose of their children's stools if the child did not use the toilet facility. Circle the most appropriate code.
