Behavioural Surveillance Surveys - The Wisdom of Whores

Section 5 : Non-paying partners
Questions in this section are identical to
those in the previous section and apply to
non-paying regular clients, with whom
protective behaviors may be different.
This section asks questions about non-paying
partners, also called regular partners, including
spouses and live-in sexual partners. The section
begins with a filter question to determine
if the respondent had previously mentioned,
in Q302, that during the past 7 days, she had
had sex with a non-paying partner.
Q502 : The questions for non-paying
partners begin with a question about how
many times during the past 30 days did
the respondent have sex with a non-paying.
Remember that she may have stated in Q302
that she did not have sex with a non-paying
partner during the past 7 days but that during
the past 30 days, she may have had sex with
non-paying partners, so the answer to Q502
could possibly be different than Q302.
Q503-Q506 : The rest of the questions in
this section are identical to the other questions
in previous sections on last time condom use,
who suggested condom use, why no condom
use, frequency of condom use, and discussion
of HIV with partners.
Section 6 : Male and female condoms
This section on male and female condoms,
like similar sections in the other questionnaires,
begins with a filter question, requiring you to
remember or look back to Q403 and 503 to
see if the respondent mentioned condom use.
The rest of the section, up to Q606, is identical
to the adult questionnaire.
Q607 : This question asks the respondent
to show you how many condoms she has on
hand (available) in her room at the time of the
interview (right now). You are to count the
condoms and record the number in the box.
This code will allow the analyst to determine
what percent of women actually had condoms
on hand, and on average, how many condoms
they had.
Section 7 : STDs
This section on STDs is the same as the
adult questionnaire.
Section 8 : Knowledge, opinions, and attitudes
This section is identical to the adult
questionnaire.
Section 9 : Exposure to interventions.
Locally-relevant questions about past
interventions with FSWs in the targeted
geographic region should be developed
in-country and added here.
