(Interviewer): Now I'm going to tell you about some different situations, and I will ask you to tell me who, apart from your immediate family, you might turn to for help in these situations.

Try to imagine that your husband has beaten you. This may have never happened, but try to imagine being in that situation. Again, you don't have to answer any questions that you don't want to. Also, if we are interrupted by another person, I will pause the interview or change the subject in order to maintain privacy.

1. So, if your husband has beaten you severely, how sure are you that there is someone in your community, apart from your immediate family, who you could talk to about your problem?
2. How sure are you that there is someone in your community, apart from your immediate family, who you could go to for advice?
3. How sure are you that there is someone in your community, apart from your immediate family, who could take you to the hospital?
4. How sure are you that there is someone in your community, apart from your immediate family, who would help care for your children or household while you are away?
5. How sure are you that there is someone in your community, apart from your immediate family, who would loan you money for transport?
