Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">7.12 Battery X. Economic support</span>
<br />The purpose of this battery of questions is to identify the population 12 years of age or older who have economic support in cash or in kind, from networks of government institutions of private sources (national or foreign civil organizations) or persons outside of the household: relatives or other persons, to find out the degree of economic vulnerability in which they find themselves and to understand the context that leads them to enter or remain outside of the labor market.</p>

<p>This battery of questions seeks to identify the population in this age range that has medical care through Public Insurance.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 10b</span>
<br />This question is asked to the population 12 years of age or older, to identify those who are entitled to Public Health Insurance.</p>

<p>[Omitted figure]</p>

<p><span class="em">Public Health Insurance. </span>Medical insurance that can be accessed, voluntarily, by the population not entitled to use other social security health institutions, such as IMSS, ISSSTE, Pemex.</p>

<p>Conceptual clarifications:
<br />As access to the health program is voluntary, it may be acquired by the civil population in general and organized groups of people, with the only condition that they are not beneficiaries of the social security health system for public institutions such as Social Security or ISSSTE. Based on the foregoing, Public Insurance can be acquired by:</p>
<div class="i1">- Civil population. The insurance may be purchased by the head of household (whether or not they work) and their family: spouse, children under 18 years of age and their parents over 64 years of age, as long as they reside in the same home.<br />- Organized groups (unions of merchants, taxi drivers, speakers.) In this case, each independent worker purchases access to the social security health service for their own benefit or for their family; the acquisition does not depend on their membership in an organization, therefore it is not considered a social benefit.</div><p>The public health service insurance is provided in hospitals and health centers affiliated with the National Health System.</p>

<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- The interviewee does have this service. Circle option 1 when the interviewee responds that they do have this type of service. Regardless of whether in question 6d or 7d they reported this same information, circle this option anyway, since this only confirms that they actually have this service. Now, if in this question they say they have public insurance, but in question 6d or 7d they said they don't have any benefits, verify the information, and correct where necessary.</div><div class="i1">- Also circle option 1 if an interviewee states they have access to medical care in the IMSS or ISSSTE and in public insurance, taking into consideration that it is a real situation, despite that the law indicates those who have access to insurance and ISSSTE cannot access Public Insurance services.<br />- The interviewee does not have this service. Circle option 2 when the interviewee says that they do not have this type of service.<br />- Information unknown. Circle option 9 if the informant says they do not know if the interviewee has this type of service.<br />- Sequence to follow. Regardless of the response, continue with question 11.</div>
