Interviewer instructions
0. GENERAL

Write the number for the appropriate box to describe the relationship of each person to the "First person listed on the roster." If the person is related to Person 1 by blood, marriage, or adoption, but is not the "Husband/wife," "Natural-born or adopted son/daughter," "Stepson/stepdaughter," "Brother/sister," "Father/mother," or "Grandchild" of Person 1, mark (X) the box for "Other relative" and print the person's exact relationship in the space provided. If a person is not related to Person 1, mark the entry, as applicable, for "Roomer, boarder, or foster child," "Housemate, roommate," "Unmarried partner," or "Other nonrelative."

Be sure all entries marked are in terms of relationship to the "First person listed on the roster." For example, the wife of a married son living with the son's father (entered as Person 1) should be reported as "Other relative," not "Husband/wife." The child of an "Unmarried partner" of Person 1 should be reported as "Other nonrelative."

IF the householder is a female, then her spouse will be listed as "Husband". That is, everyone is still related to HER, not the other way around. BE SURE THAT ALL ENTRIES MARKED ARE IN TERMS OF RELATIONSHIP TO THE HOUSEHOLDER. For example, the wife of a married son living with the son's father (entered as Person 1 - the Householder) should be reported as "daughter-in-law" or "son's wife", not "Wife".

1. PERSON LISTED AS PERSON 1 ON THE FRONT COVER

There is no entry to mark for the "Person listed first on the front cover."

2. HUSBAND/WIFE

Write the appropriate number for "Husband/wife" for the person reported as the husband or wife of the "First person listed on the roster." There may be other married couples in the household but the entry for "Husband/wife" should only be marked for the person reported as married to the "First person listed on the roster."

3. NATURAL-BORN OR ADOPTED SON/DAUGHTER

Write 3 for "Natural-born or adopted son/daughter" for a child who is a son or daughter of the "First person listed on the roster" by birth, regardless of the age of the child. Mark "Natural-born or adopted son/daughter" for a child who is a son or daughter of the "First person listed on the roster" by legal adoption, regardless of the age of the child, only in cases where the "First person listed on the roster" is not also the stepparent of the child. Sons-in-law and daughters-in-law should be marked "Other relative" (see instruction 9 below). Foster children should be marked "Roomer, boarder, or foster child."

4. STEPSON/STEPDAUGHTER

Write 4 for "Stepson/stepdaughter" for a child who is the son or daughter of the "First person listed on the roster" through marriage but not by birth, regardless of the age of the child (exclude sons-in-law and daughters-in-law). If the "Stepson/stepdaughter" of the "First person listed on the roster" has also been legally adopted by the "First person listed on the roster" mark "Stepson/stepdaughter" but do not mark "Natural-born or adopted son/daughter." In other words, "Stepson/stepdaughter" takes precedence over "Adopted son/daughter."

5. BROTHER/SISTER

Write 5 for "Brother/sister" for the brother or sister of the "First person listed on the roster." Stepbrothers, stepsisters, and brothers and sisters by adoption should be marked "Brother/sister." Brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law should be marked "Other relative" (see instruction 9 below).

6. FATHER/MOTHER

Write 6 for "Father/mother" for the father or mother of the "First person listed on the roster." Mark parents by birth, stepparents, and parents by adoption as "Father/mother." Parents-in-law should be marked "Other relative" (see instruction 9 below).

7. GRANDCHILD

Write 7 for "Grandchild" for the grandson or granddaughter of the "First person listed on the roster."

8. OTHER RELATIVE

Write 8 for "Other relative" for anyone else related to the "First person listed on the roster" by blood, marriage, or adoption (sister-in-law, nephew, aunt, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, cousin, grandparent, great-grandchild, etc.), and print the exact relationship in the space provided.

9. ROOMER, BOARDER, OR FOSTER CHILD

Write 9 for "Roomer, boarder, or foster child" for a roomer, boarder, lodger, or relative of such, and for foster children or foster adults of the "First person listed on the roster."

10. HOUSEMATE, ROOMMATE

Write 10 for "Housemate, roommate" for persons who are not relatives of the "First person listed on the roster" and who share living quarters primarily in order to share expenses.

11. UNMARRIED PARTNER

Write 11 for "Unmarried partner" for a person who is not a relative of the "First person listed on the roster," who shares living quarters and who has a close personal relationship with the "First person listed on the roster."

12. OTHER NONRELATIVE

Write 12 for "Other nonrelative" for a person who is not related by blood, marriage, or adoption to the "First person listed on the roster" but is related to an "Unmarried partner" or "Housemate, roommate" or who cannot be described by the categories given.

13. CONTINUATION QUESTIONNAIRES - When more than ten people are to be entered, a continuation questionnaire is required. This must be a questionnaire of the SAME type (a short-form with an original short-form questionnaire, or a long-form with an original long-form questionnaire). Do not enter anyone in the "Person 1 column" on the continuation questionnaire, and be sure all relationships marked on the continuation questionnaire refer to Person 1 on the original (first form) questionnaire.
