Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">6.2 Section II. Result of the interview</span>
<br />The objective of this section is to understand the results you have obtained by going to conduct the interview. This result may vary in each interview, thus they have considered the fields to enter the results each interviewer obtains during the time the home is in the sample. The section is divided into two parts, preliminary and final, of which you only have to fill out the preliminary results column; the final results should be filled out by the supervisor.</p>

<p>[Omitted figure]</p>

<p><span class="em">Instructions:</span>
<br />Taking into account that it is not always feasible to locate the residents of the selected homes the first time you go to a home to obtain the information, you should return up to five times, at different times, throughout the week of the survey, trying to locate an adequate informant.</p>

<p>All homes must be visited in the appropriate trimester, regardless of the result reported previously, as its inhabitation status may change from one trimester to another.</p>

<p>To classify the results of the interview there are four categories:</p>
<div class="i1">- 00 (double zero) Interview achieved. This category indicates that you were successful obtaining the information.<br />- Type A home inhabited. This classification groups situations in which the interviewer was not able to obtain the information, despite your efforts, because the home is inhabited.<br />- Type B home uninhabited. This category groups those cases in which the information could not be obtained because the home is uninhabited.<br />- Type C home outside of sample. This category includes cases in which it was not possible to conduct the interview for different reasons: the space recorded as a home never was one, or used to be a home but is no longer one, the home no longer exists in the location on the list because it was destroyed or relocated.</div><p>In all those cases where the result has been no interview, regardless of the code assigned, provide the supervisor useful or relevant information in the comments section that permits the verification or rescue of an interview. For example, indicate the time you were able to find the residents, the willingness or lack thereof of the informants who could attend the interview, if there are any neighbors who could provide information, characteristics of the home or the area that are not specified in the field material.</p>

<p>Below you will find the instructions to follow to fill out the data in this section:</p>
<div class="i1">- Period. Based on the interview number, enter the corresponding code, which is made up of three digits: the first indicates the number of the trimester and the remaining two the year it is conducted.<br />- Code. Enter the result code of the interview: achieved (double zero) or not achieved (codes 01 to 15), based on the List of codes to record the result of the interview, section located below the box for this section.</div><span class="pg">[p. 90]</span><div class="i1">- Date. Enter two digits for each heading: day, month, and year. This data could refer to the moment the interview takes place or the last attempt to achieve it.</div><span class="em">Type A Home inhabited</span>
<br />The situations in which the interview is not achieved, despite the presence of residents in the home, are grouped in this category. Remember that before reporting a case in this category you must have visited the home up to five times, on different days and at different hours during the week of the survey, trying to find the adequate informant; in addition, have questioned the neighbors about what time you could find them.</p>

<p>To ensure the participation of the people in those cases in which they refuse to cooperate or when you are not able to establish contact with them despite the visits to the home at different hours, you have presentation documents through which people are provided with specific information about the objective of the survey and are invited to participate.</p>

<p>Code and reason:</p>

<p><span class="em">01. There is no one in the home at the time of the interview </span>
<br />Assign this code when:
<br />After the five visits to the selected home, you have not been able to establish contact with any resident of said home, despite that you went there, throughout the week of the survey, on different days and at different hours. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you should have been able to verify, at least, which day and at what time they could be contacted by the supervisor, who will have to go to try to obtain the information.</p>

<p>The investigation related to the time any resident could be located may be done among the neighbors, concierges or security guards. If you have not been able to establish contact with anyone who can provide you information, observe the conditions of the home to determine whether it is inhabited; you can observe this based on the fact that the electrical meter is turning, the presence of clothing on the line, pets or plants with signs that someone takes care of them.</p>

<p><span class="em">02. Temporarily absent</span>
<br />- You have not been able to conduct the interview during the week of the survey because you could not establish contact with any of the residents of the home because they are temporarily absent for different reasons: vacation, work, dealing with personal matters, illness.</p>

<p><span class="em">03. Refused to give information</span>
<br />The adequate informant has denied providing the information. In this situation, explain to them the purpose of the survey and highlight the confidential handling of the information.
<br />In a final attempt to try to convince the residents to agree to provide the information, leave in the entrance to the home, in a visible location, the appointment scheduling forms and collaboration request, and return at another time to learn their response.</p>

<p>Assign this code regardless of the argument given finally for not attending or continue providing the information: having given the information for this or another INEGI project or another institution, public or private (radio survey, political party).</p>

<p>Under no circumstance should you give up on your attempts to obtain the information during the period of the five visits to the home due to the simple fact that on the first, second, third or fourth time you went you were not received by any member of the household or your presence was ignored. Consider it a refusal only if someone assumed to be a member of the household, expressed n words that they did not wish to cooperate.</p>

<p><span class="em">04. Inadequate informant</span>
<br />You detect the presence of people who do not meet the requirements to be considered adequate informants. Remember these are:</p>
<div class="i1">- Persons under 15 years of age.<br />- Persons outside of the household (friends, domestic employees, relatives, visitors), even when they know all the information.<br />- People with any mental disability.<br />- People of advanced age who cannot provide information (in this situation, as an exceptional case, a family member may be the adequate informant even if they are not a resident of the selected home. If this is the case, you will only need to explain this situation in the comments section).<br />- People under the influence of any type of drug or alcohol.</div><span class="em">05. Other reason</span>
<br />You have not been able to establish contact with any of the residents due to reasons other than those cited above:</p>
<div class="i1">- Death of a resident.<br />- The household is in quarantine.<br />- The area where the home is located is high risk.<br />- The streets or roads have been blocked due to the presence of a weather phenomenon.<br />- There is a gate that prevents contact with the residents of the home (common situation in some residential areas).</div><span class="em">05. Other reason</span><div class="i1">- The informant, for any reason, has postponed the interview for the supervision week, such that it will be the supervisor who must obtain the information. In this case, explain the situation and specify the date on which the informant indicated they would receive the survey staff.<br />- You cannot conduct the interview because none of the residents speaks Spanish. Do not assign this code if you speak the language or tongue and can conduct the interview.</div><span class="em">14. The household moved</span><div class="i1">- From the second to the fifth interview you detect that one or more households have left the home and were not replaced by others, but it is still inhabited by at least one.<br />- This code is recorded in the questionnaires for each of the households that abandoned the home and were not replaced, which allows you to justify its removal from the system.</div><span class="em">15. Interview suspended</span><div class="i1">- Despite your efforts, the informant has refused to continue with the interview such that you have only been able to obtain the information from the sociodemographic questionnaire and what is called the occupation and employment questionnaire of one or more members of the household is missing.<br />- If you have not been able to conclude or even fill out the sociodemographic questionnaire, assign the code 03 refused to give information.</div><span class="em">Type B. Home uninhabited</span>
<br />The main characteristic of this type of no interview is that, at least during the period of the survey, the home was uninhabited. You should not assign a type B no interview code for any reason before you have done everything possible to investigate among the neighbors the real situation of the home. Do not settle for the simple visual assessment of the physical conditions present in the home.</p>

<p>The main characteristics of this typology is that no one has lived in the selected homes during the period of the survey.</p>

<p>Assign a specific code in this category in accordance with the following:</p>

<p><span class="em">06. Suitable for inhabitation</span><div class="i1">- You detect that the home is uninhabited, but in adequate physical conditions to be inhabited.</div><p>The condition of a home being uninhabited can be observed based on, for example, one or more of the following situations:</p>
<div class="i1">- There is no furniture or other items inside or there could be furniture or other things, and they have a for rent or for sale sign, or not.<br />- The existence of broken windows or doors or sealed windows.<br />- The presence of overgrown grass or weeds, the presence of cobwebs in the doors and windows.<br />- There is electricity or water service connected, and this can be observed by the lack of an electrical meter or a water connection point, or these instruments are in good condition, but appear not to be in operation.<br />- The existence of mail on the ground that seems to have been there a long time.</div><span class="em">07. Temporary use</span>
<br />You detect that a home is furnished or has items inside, and is used with a certain frequency (weekends, vacation periods, planting season), to rest or for other purposes. Assign this code even if it is not used, but there is furniture or other items present inside.</p>

<p>The information you compile from the neighbors is the only way you can guaranty this code is correct. If you are not able to determine that it is a home for temporary use or is uninhabited, consider it uninhabited, suitable for inhabitation (code 06).</p>
<div class="i1">- Do not assign this code if, when conducting the interview, you detect that its owners use it from time to time, but domestic workers or other people live there regularly. In these cases, consider the home inhabited, and therefore, obtain the information.</div><p>Remember that for the survey it does not matter which group of people inhabit the home: the owners, renters, domestic servants, "aviators" or other groups. You are only interested in knowing if it is inhabited or not; and if it is inhabited, learning the sociodemographic and economic.</p>

<p><span class="em">08. Not suitable for inhabitation</span>
<br />The selected home is uninhabitable due to deterioration: fractured walls or roof, missing windows, doors, roof or in the process of remodeling.</p>

<p><span class="em">09. Temporary use for purposes other than inhabitation</span>
<br />The selected home is used temporarily as an office, business, workshop, factory, warehouse, nursery, school.</p>

<p>This temporary status is conditional on the five trimesters the home remains in the sample. If a home has been classified during three consecutive trimesters with this code, in the fourth trimester, assign it number 12 Permanent use for purposes other than inhabitation.</p>

<p><span class="em">Type C. Home outside of sample</span>
<br />Includes situations that affect the sample, for such reasons as:</p>

<p><span class="em">10. Demolished</span>
<br />The selected home as been demolished, destroyed or is in the process of demolition.</p>

<p><span class="em">11. Change of site (mobile)</span>
<br />The selected homes, despite being registered on the list of homes, are not found in the field. This may happen in very special cases; for example, in the case of a trailer, houseboat, improvised camp under bridges, drainage pipe, which apparently, at least when listed, appeared to have been permanently located in the place, but when the ENOE staff went there, they had disappeared.</p>

<p><span class="em">12. Permanent use for purposes other than inhabitation</span>
<br />The selected home has been adapted to be used exclusively and permanently as a workshop, shop, warehouse, house of prayer, etc.</p>

<p><span class="em">13. Other reason</span>
<br />(Specify in the comments section)
<br />The reason for the no interview cannot be classified in any of the above options, for example:</p>
<div class="i1">- Group living arrangements.<br />- Homes sealed for any reason, as long as there is a notice on the home. If not, report it as uninhabited suitable or nor suitable for inhabitation, as applicable.</div><p>Joined homes (in this case enter the reason and report to the supervisor; if you have questions about how to identify them, see chapter 4 of this manual).
