SECTION 1. RESPONDENT'S BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION AND CONSENT

Hello. My name is ___. I am working with INFO-STAT, which is executing this survey in collaboration with the Committee of Planning and Statistics of the Ministry of Health (CPS) and the National Office of Statistics and Information (INSTAT). We are conducting a survey about health in Mali. The information we collect will help the government to improve health services. Your household was selected for the survey. The questions usually take about 20 minutes. All of the answers you give will be confidential and will not be shared with anyone other than members of our survey team. You are not obligated to participate in the survey, but we hope you will agree to participate because your opinions are very important. If I ask you any question you don't want to answer, just let me know and I will go on to the next question or you can stop the interview at any time.

In case you need more information about the survey, you may contact the person listed on the card that has already been given to your household.
