Question pretext

Health State Descriptions Time Begin
Now I would like to review different functions of your body. When answering these questions, I would like you to think about the last 30 days, taking both good and bad days into account. When I ask about difficulty, I would like you to consider how much difficulty you have had, on an average, in the past 30 days, while doing the activity in the way that you usually do it. By difficulty I mean requiring increased effort, discomfort or pain, slowness or changes in the way you do the activity. Please answer this question taking into account any assistance you have available.

Vision

Interviewer instructions

The purpose of this question is to know the use of an assistive device such as spectacles or contact lenses since for the following 2 questions the respondent would be asked to take this into account when reporting on the level of difficulty with vision.
