Responses of "often" or "sometimes" on questions HH3 and HH4, and "yes" on AD1, AD2, and AD3 are coded as affirmative (yes). Responses of "almost every month" and "some months but not every month" on AD1a are coded as affirmative (yes). The sum of affirmative responses to the six questions in the module is the household's raw score on the scale.

For interviewer-administered surveys, DK ("don't know") and "Refused" are blind responses- that is, they are not presented as response options but marked if volunteered. For self-administered surveys, "don't know" is presented as a response option.
