Interviewer instructions

Part D: Dwelling Unit Characteristics and Access to Facilities

D3. Number of rooms: Ask the respondent how many rooms there are in the dwelling unit and record the total number of rooms in column D3. The number of rooms should include sitting rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and a kitchen even if it is a separate room detached from the main structure.
