Questionnaires

The questionnaires for the Ukraine 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, household characteristics, child labour, child discipline and salt iodization.

In addition to a household questionnaire, questionnaires were administered in each household for 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 includes women's characteristics, child mortality, maternal and newborn health, marriage and union, security of tenure, contraception, domestic violence and HIV/AIDS knowledge.

The children's questionnaire includes children's characteristics, birth registration and early learning, child development, breastfeeding and care of illness.

The questionnaires were developed in English from the MICS3 Model Questionnaires, and were translated into Ukrainian and Russian.  

The Ukrainian and Russian questionnaires were both piloted as part of the survey pretest.
