2024 Reinterview
Procedure for finding respondent for Redesigned Reinterview:
If there’s a Sample Adult interview then we will attempt to contact the Sample Adult for Reinterview. If
there’s no Sample Adult interview, but there is a Sample Child interview then we will attempt to contact
the Sample Child Proxy for Reinterview. If there is no Sample Child interview, then we will attempt to
contact the Household Respondent.
In the rare case that the Sample Adult interview was completed by a proxy, we will not attempt to
contact the Sample Adult or Sample Adult proxy for the reinterview. We will move to trying to contact
the Sample Child Proxy (therefore sample adult questions will be skipped), and if there is no Sample
Child proxy, then we will attempt to contact the Household Respondent.
The content verification questions are specific to the respondent who answered the original question
(either Sample Adult or Sample Child proxy). These questions are only asked when there was a response
from the related question in the original interview. Respondents will not be reinterviewed on topics they
weren’t asked about originally. All responses are dichotomous “Yes” or “No”
