This paper describes the development and content of a household questionnaire designed to measure the economic impact of adult morbidity and mortality in an African country. The questionnaire is the main data collection instrument of the research project on "The Economic Impact of Fatal Adult Illness due to AIDS and Other Causes in sub - Sahara Africa", conducted by a research team from the World Bank and the University of Dar es Salaam. The main objectives of the project are: (1) to measure the impact of fatal adult illnes on individuals, households and communities; and (2) to estimate the costs and effects of alternative policies to assist the survivors. Key innovations in the household questionnaire include: adaptation for a longitudinal research design, including "inter-wave" consistency checks; an expanded set of questions on acute and chronic illness and their costs; a module on the mortality of household members and relatives; a consumption module that allows for seasonality; and collection of more data at the individual level, to facilitate analysis of intra-household distribution of resources.
