Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">A) Personal and Geographic Characteristics</span></p>
<p>This section is for all residents in the dwelling. It is intended to find out information about the composition of the population according to their relationship with the head of household, sex, age, civil status, whether the mother is alive, place of birth, year of arrival in the country, nationality, and permanent residence in 1969.</p>
<p>Ask questions 1-9 of everyone who is enumerated, without exception and according to the detailed instructions below.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question set 7: What municipality and department were you/was the person born in?</span></p>
<p>Keep in mind that the placement of this question may cause the respondent to confuse it with the previous question. The previous question (question set 6) investigates whether or not the enumerated person's mother is alive; this question (question set 7) seeks to discover the enumerated person's place of birth, and not the place of birth of that person's mother.</p>
<p><span class="pg">[p. 34]</span></p>
<p>Mark an "X" in the box corresponding to the word "here" if the place of birth coincides with permanent residence on the census date. Leave the spaces for municipality or department blank.</p>
<div class="i1">A) If the enumerated person was born in a different municipality in Honduras ask the name of the municipality where he/she was born and the name of the department the municipality is in. Write the information in the appropriate space.<br /><br />B) If the enumerated person was born in another country, ask the name of the enumerated person's country of birth and write it in the appropriate space.</div>
