Available of XLS Forms

Four different types of iycf-XLS forms are available and based on the user application purpose, and the user can select the most appropriate iycf-XLS form. In general, the iycf-XLS forms can be categorized into two;

  1. Household Survey with IYCF modules and
  2. IYCF module only XLS form.

And in each category, two types of iycf-XLS form are provided based on the WHO food questions administration guideline. Users can select two different iycf-XLS forms as mentioned below. + Open Recall Questionnaires for Foods: Food consumption questions are not administered by asking individual food items (from the list). Ask the respondent for each different time of meal the child ate yesterday (from the morning the child wake-up to the night before the child goes to sleep).
+ List-Based Questionnaires for Foods: This approach directly asks the individual food group mentioned in the food consumption questions.

Both approaches contain the same questions, and the only difference is the display format is customized based on the questionnaire`s administration purpose. For more information about these two approaches, please go to WHO IYCF indicator guideline, page 28.

To download the IYCF XLS forms, please go to this Github repository.

Household Survey with IYCF modules

If the user wants the iycf-XLS form with the already built-in household roster module, use the XLS forms from this category. This type of iycf-XLS form will first ask the Household Roster module to identify the relevant under 2 years old children in the household for the IYCF module. Then, the XLS form will create the IYCF modules based on the number of under 2 years old children (currently living) in the household.

  • hhsvy_iycf_open_recall: IYCF module with Open Recall Questionnaires
  • hhsvy_iycf_list_based: IYCF module with List-Based Questionnaires

IYCF module only XLS

If the user wants the pure IYCF module and has the idea to use that as part of the multi-sectoral survey, please use this type of iycf-XLS form. Users can easily add or customize this in their respective master XLS form.
