Interviewer instructions
While this question specifically asks for the relationship to the head of household, the categories identified are interpreted broadly to include the spouse of partner or the head. Thus Category 3 – child means child (also legally adopted) of either the head or the wife/husband or partner. Similarly, Category 5 - grandchild may be the grandchild of either the head or his/her spouse or partner; and a person classified as “other relative” – Category 7 – may be related to either the head or his/her spouse/partner. Non-relative may include a household helper (living with the Household), a friend, or any other person not related to either the head or his/her spouse/partner.
