Field Guide

Version date: September 16, 2014

1. Tell me about your community

2. I’d like to hear about your experiences with illnesses.

3. Tell me about a time when someone you know was very sick. What happened? (Probe for complete “story”. Name of disease, place of treatment, and wait time for the treatment, and overall quality. What were the different costs (travel, food could be a cost)? Cover how costs were dealt with. What decisions were made?)

4. Tell me about a time when someone you know passed away. What happened? (Probe for how cleaning and washing the ill person at their final stage of illness, probe for ways of showing respect for those who have passed away)

5. What are some important things to consider when it comes to burial?

6. I would like to switch topic and talk about Ebola. Tell me about Ebola. (Probe for stigma, discrimination. Be sensitive, do NOT probe for leading answers.)

7. What else do you think I should know?
