Question post text
WRITE X IN THE BOX CORRESPONDING TO ANSWER FOR EACH DIFFICULTY/PROBLEM.
Interviewer instructions
To identify household members who may have functional difficulty, ask the respondent, "Does ______ have any difficulty/problem in _____?" You need to read out each kind of functional difficulty one by one.
For each functional difficulty, if the answer is Yes, write "X" in the box for Yes, otherwise, write "X" in the box for No.
Any difficulty with remembering, concentrating, or understanding what is going on around them that they or family members (if the family member is the respondent) consider a problem should be reported.
Note that if the person is taking notes, has electronic reminder systems or with verbal cueing from personal assistants being used as a memory aid, difficulty should be assessed with this help taken into consideration. However, a person may have a difficulty remembering or concentrating not because he/she has a disability but because he/she is very busy or is aging. Just remember that this question refers to a person who experiences a functional difficulty because of a health condition or health problem, and not because he/she is busy or aging.

Description
Text
Remembering refers to an individual using his/her memory capacity in order to recall what has happened around him/her. It means the individual can bring to mind or think again about something that has taken place in the past (either the recent past or further back). In connection with younger people, remembering is often associated with storing facts learned in school and being able to retrieve them when needed.
Concentrating refers to an individual using his/her mental ability to accomplish some tasks such as reading, calculating numbers, and learning something. It is associated with focusing on the task at hand in order to complete it. It is the act of directing one's full attention to a subject or to focus without distraction on one thing.
The purpose of this question is to identify persons who have some serious problems with remembering or concentrating that contribute to difficulty in doing their daily activities. They can have a problem finding their way around, or the problem can be that they cannot concentrate on what they are doing, or they may forget where they are or what month it is. They may not remember what someone just said to them or they may seem confused or frightened about most things.

Notes
As defined by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) of the World Health Organization, functioning is an umbrella term for body functions, body structures, activities, and participation. It denotes the positive aspects of the interaction between an individual (with a health condition) and that individual's contextual factors (environmental and personal factors). Environmental factors include the physical world and its features, the human-made physical world, other people in different relationships and roles, attitudes and values, social systems and services, and policies, rules and laws. Personal factors are factors that relate to individual such as age, gender, social status, life experiences, and so on.
A person with difficulty in functioning may have activity limitations, which means difficulties an individual may have in executing activities. An activity limitation may range from a slight to a severe deviation in terms of quality or quantity in executing the activity in a manner or to the extent that is expected of people without the health condition. In general, functional difficulties experienced by people may have been due to their health conditions. Health conditions refer to diseases or illnesses, other health problems that may be short or long lasting injuries, mental or emotional problems, and problems with alcohol or drugs. A health condition may also include other circumstances such as pregnancy, ageing, stress, congenital anomaly, or genetic predisposition. Difficulty is usually manifested when a person is doing an activity with increased effort, discomfort or pain, slowness, or changes in the way he/she does the activity.
