Now I would like to ask you some questions about child care. These questions will ask about the arrangements used to care for your child/children during a typical week over the past 12 months. By a typical week over the past 12 months, I mean a week in which your schedules for work, school, training, and child care were what you consider to be normal. I will ask you only about the child care used while you were at work, school, or in training. In addition, if you did not use a certain type of care, I will ask you about the availability and cost of that type of care.

In a typical week over the past 12 months, how many hours did you work for pay, attend school, attend training, or travel to work, school, or training?

(IF R VOLUNTEERS THAT HER CHILD/CHILDREN ARE WITH HER WHILE SHE WORKS OR THAT CHILD/CHILDREN ARE WITH HER WHILE SHE COMMUTES, ASK FOR THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT R WORKS, ATTENDS SCHOOL OR TRAINING, OR COMMUTES AND THE CHILD/CHILDREN ARE NOT WITH HER.)

(IF R VOLUNTEERS THAT THERE WAS NO TYPICAL WEEK, ENTER 999)

Okay, I will be asking you about the child care arrangements used LAST WEEK while you were at work, school, or in training. In total, last week how many hours did you work for pay, attend school, attend training, or travel to work, school, or training?
