Make changes to the columns as you wish to make it most appropriate for your location. In
particular, the medicine lists may need to be compiled according to local standard treatment
guidelines.
When maintaining the data in this sheet, please ensure that you only modify data within the
designated boundaries.
Adapting other forms
There are a number of forms that you may wish to consider for customization. The full list is
available in Appendix 2E. The forms may need adapting for the particular circumstances
being surveyed. The exit interview questions will need to be translated into the appropriate
local languages. This can be done during data collection training. Exit interview forms are
listed separately in the appendix.
