Questionnaire Background for Interviewer |
This questionnaire is designed to collect comprehensive information on possible risk factors for hepatitis A. It is designed for cluster/outbreak investigations where the source of infection is unknown, but the questionnaire could be applied to investigate sporadic cases. Data captured: – Case demographics – Other risk factors – Clinical information – Food exposures – Laboratory information Since outbreaks of hepatitis A are often linked back to contaminated food products, please collect as much details as possible for each item, including restaurant exposures. Also consider using a calendar to probe. The questionnaire is estimated to take approximately 1 hour to complete |
