This question aims to identify respondents who were involved in a road traffic accident resulting in bodily injury. It is important to emphasize that the respondent could have been involved in the accident in any capacity. If the respondent first answers “no”, probe by saying: “This could have been an accident in which you were involved either as the occupant of a motor vehicle, or when you were riding a motorcycle or bicycle, or walking.”
The bodily injury produced as a result of the accident could be any type of injury (even if it was not necessarily visible to the person at the time of the accident). Only accidents that occurred in the last 12 months should be recorded. If the respondent indicates not having been involved in any road traffic accident in the past 12 months, record “NO” and Go to Q6806.
