Question label:
Health limits typical activities
Question text:
Now I'm going to read a list of activities that you might do during a typical day. As I read each item, please tell me if your health now limits you a lot, limits you a little, or does not limit you at all in these activities. First, moderate activities, such as moving a table, pushing a vacuum cleaner, bowling or playing golf...Does your health now limit you a lot, limit you a little or not limit you at all?
Question interviewer instructions:
READ RESPONSE CHOICES ONLY IF NECESSARY…(IF RESPONDENT SAYS S/HE DOES NOT DO ACTIVITY, PROBE: IS THAT BECAUSE OF YOUR HEALTH?)
