Attitudes to family and ideas about acceptable behaviour in the home
Enumerator: “In this community and throughout the Maldives, people have different ideas about families, and what
is acceptable behaviour for men and women in the home. I am going to read you a list of statements and I would like
you to tell me whether you generally agree or disagree with the statement. There are no right or wrong answers – the
survey is just trying to discover people’s attitudes to these things. Also, I want to remind you that this questionnaire is
confidential. No‐one else here will know what you have answered to these questions.”
