The pilot study led to modification of questions related to education, income, consumption and work, but identified no practical difficulties. Pilot study interviews did not contribute to the main analysis.\nThe interviewers successfully reached every district and completed the main survey in one month (May 2013). The average time required per interview was approximately 45 minutes, and one hour per household to complete the data collection. There were no major communication problems. All 15 FCHVs were enthusiastically helpful in this regard.From 2,374 enumerated houses, 164 (non-residential, animal sheds and commercial establishments) were excluded (Figure  2). Among the remaining 2,210 households, 2,109 held eligible respondents, with one participant selected from each. There were nine (6 male, 3 female; age 20–40 years) who were classed as non-participants, four withholding consent altogether and five declining to complete the interview (these incomplete questionnaires were excluded from further analyses). Thus the participation rate was 99.6%.\nFigure 2 Flow of participants. (M = Mountain region, H= Hill region, T= Terai region). 1No one of age range of 18 to 65. 2Refused to consent or declined the interview. Of the 2,100 participants, 1,239 (59%) were female and 861 (41%) were male (Table  1); their mean age was 36.4 ± 12.8 years. Males aged 18–34 years were under-represented in comparison with the national population of Nepal, according to census data (Table  1). Almost one quarter (491; 23.4%) of participants lived above 2,000 m.\nTable 1 Age and gender distributions in sample and population census 2011 of Nepal [[19]]\nAge group (years) Distribution of males in Nepali population (%) Distribution of males in sample N (%) Distribution of females in Nepali population (%) Distribution of females in sample N (%)\n18-19 4.1a 61 (2.9) 4.2a 76 (3.6)\n20-24 7.3 106 (5.0) 9.2 189 (9.0)\n25-29 6.4 111 (5.3) 8.2 207 (9.9)\n30-34 5.4 101 (4.8) 6.8 204 (9.7)\n35-39 5.2 103 (4.9) 6.1 154 (7.3)\n40-44 4.6 97 (4.6) 5.1 123 (5.9)\n45-49 4.0 69 (3.3) 4.2 83 (4.0)\n50-54 3.6 79 (3.8) 3.5 91 (4.3)\n55-59 2.9 56 (2.7) 2.8 57 (2.7)\n60-65 3.1b 78 (3.7) 3.3b 55 (2.6)\nTotal 46.6 861 (41.0) 53.4 1,239 (59.0)\na:Estimated as 0.4 x (population of age group 15–19 years).\nb:Estimated as 1.2 x (population of age group 60–64 years).
