Interviewer instructions
Note that, usually a solar year is one month earlier than a lunar year. So when you convert a month of birth from a lunar calendar to a solar calendar, you must plus one to the month of lunar year.
If the respondent does not know his/her year of birth, do the same with the month of birth. If probing does not help in determine the respondent’s year of birth, code “9998” in the appropriate boxes for the year.
