Questionnaires

The questionnaires for the Yemen MICS were structured questionnaires based on the MICS3 Model Questionnaire with some modifications and additions. A household questionnaire was administered in each household, which collected various information on household members including sex, age, relationship, and orphanhood status. The household questionnaire includes household listing, education, water and sanitation, housing characteristics, child labor, child discipline and disability.

In addition to a household questionnaire, questionnaires were administered in each household for ever-married women age 15-49 and children under age five. For children, the questionnaire was administered to the mother or caretaker of the child. 

The women's questionnaire include women's characteristics, marriage, child mortality, birth history, tetanus toxid, maternal and newborn health, contraception and unmet need, and HIV and AIDS modules.

The children's questionnaire includes children's characteristics, birth registration and early education, child development,  care for illness, and immunization.

From the MICS3 model Arabic version, the questionnaires were pre-tested and based on the results of the pre-test, modifications were made to the wording and translation of the questionnaires. A copy of the Yemen MICS questionnaires is provided in Appendix F of the final report.
