Copy the response to this question to the same question in the questionnaire for the second child. If you are interviewing more than one mother/primary caretaker in the same household, ask the question once of each of the mothers/primary caretakers. Circle the codes for the symptoms mentioned. If the caretaker mentions a few signs and stops, continue by asking "ANY OTHERS?" until the caretaker cannot recall any additional symptoms, but do not prompt with any suggestions. Circle the codes corresponding to all symptoms mentioned. If you are not sure whether a certain sign as reported by the respondent fits in one of the above categories, write it down in full and check with your supervisor later.
