The questionnaire for the first three rounds consists of a series of core modules, such as consumption expenditure, wealth changes, incomes, health outcomes, including anthropometrics on 9000 individuals and sources of income shocks. In each round, data were also collected on specific issues, such as community sharing mechanisms, parental background, migration, off-farm activities, education, marriage histories, fertility, etc. Complementary to the survey was a set of 15 village studies, covering a broad range of topics, based on the views of local people, as elicited through rapid assessment techniques. These village profiles were researched in the sites by Ethiopian graduate students who used anthropological, qualitative techniques to investigate the range of selected topics, and present local views of each of the communities. The new survey, which was designed to focus explicitly on intrahousehold resource allocation, collects detailed information on many individual outcomes, such as education and health, as well as information on factors affecting allocation decisions within marriage.
