Every person in the country has an equal chance of being included in this study. All information will be kept confidential. Your household has been chosen by chance.

This individual becomes the interview. Interviewer, ask for names of all males / females who presently live in the household. Consider only citizens of [Zimbabwe] and who are 18 years and older. Record first names only directly onto the respondent selection cards. Place the cards face down for a random draw of a potential respondent.
