Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">A- Sociodemographic characteristics</span></p>

<p><span class="em">Column P06: Date of birth or age</span></p>

<p>Column P06 is intended to record either the date of birth (by preference), or the age (if the date of birth is not known). This column must be completed for all the members of the household. Identity or civil status documents or failing that birth certificates for the newly born will be of great use.</p>

<p><span class="pg">[p. 24]</span></p>

<p>To do this, you should proceed as follows:</p>

<p>First, seek to record the date of birth:</p>
<div class="i1">- If the date of birth is not known, seek to record the age of the person surveyed.<br />- If the date of birth is declared put dashes in the boxes reserved for age. If age is declared, put dashes in the boxes reserved for date of birth.</div><span class="ital">Date of birth</span></p>

<p>Pose the following question: "What day, in what month and in what year was [the respondent] born?"</p>

<p>Record the date of birth declared by day, month, and year in the corresponding boxes.</p>

<p>If the person surveyed declares having been born in 1960 for example, record the year declared in the boxes reserved for the year and put dashes in the boxes reserve for the day and the month.</p>

<p>The figures corresponding to the month are:</p>
<div class="i1">01 for January<br />02 for February <br />03 for March <br />04 for April<br />05 for May <br />06 for June<br />07 for July <br />08 for August <br />09 for September<br />10 for October<br />11 for November<br />12 for December</div><p>Examples:</p>

<p>1. For a person born on October 04, 1990, record in the boxes:
<br />Date: /_0_4/ /_1_0/ /_1_9_9_0/ and put dashes in the boxes reserved for age.</p>

<p>2. For a person born in April 1960, fill in the column as follows:
<br />Date: _ _ /_0_4/ /_1_9_6_0/ and put dashes in the boxes reserved for age.</p>

<p>3. For a person born in 1960, fill in the column as follows:
<br />Date: _ _ _ _ /_1_9_6_0/ and put dashes in the boxes reserved for age.</p>

<p><span class="ital">NB 15: For a respondent who declares for example that they were "born around 1940", ask them their age. If they know their age, record it in the corresponding boxes. If they do not know their age, put dashes in the boxes reserved for day and month and record the year declared in the box reserved for the year (just as in example 3).</span>
