This question aims to identify individuals who had serious bodily injuries in the last 12 months of any cause except road traffic accidents. The idea is to determine whether the person experienced difficulty because of a physical injury in doing their day to day activities, such as household, work and school activities. Respondents should use their own definition of "limited in everyday activities" to answer this question. If the injury limited the respondent's everyday activities in any way, it would be considered as a
serious injury requiring medical attention. The interviewer should probe for the type and cause of the injury and record "yes" if it occurred in any incident of intentional or unintentional cause, such as from a fall, fire, poisoning, drowning, or from an act of violence or war. If the answer is no, Go to next section.
