Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">2. Age</span>
<br />This question identifies the age (in completed years) of each resident of the dwelling at the time of the interview. Moreover, this information allows you to apply age cutoffs of the questionnaire.</p>
<p>[Figures are omitted]</p>
<p>Read the question for each person, listen the answers and record the age in years in the space intended for it. If the respondent does not remember or does not specify the age of any person, support him/her mentioning some event, such as marriage, birth of a son or daughter, grade at school, among others or asked him/her to verify the birth certificate, the credential of the voter, the CURP, the driver license or another document that shows the date of birth; help him/her to calculate the age. When the informant says phrases like "33 turning 34", "2 and a half" or "almost 5", verify with him/her the years of age at the time (33, 2 and 4, respectively). Registers three zeros (000) if the person is less than one year, either by hours, days, weeks, or less than 12 months of age.</p>
<p><span class="em">3. Relationship</span>
<br />This question identifies the family relationship of each person with the head; for example: wife, husband, son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, among others.</p>
<p>Search the relationship always with respect to the head and no with respect to the informant, unless he/she is the head. Remember that there can be only one head in the dwelling, regardless of the gender.</p>
<p>Read the question, listen to the answer and circle the appropriate code. Write only on the line if the information declared by the informant is another relationship that is not listed in options 2 to 7. For example: niece, nephew, grandmother, grandfather, chauffeur, domestic worker, and so on.</p>
<p>[Figures are omitted]</p>
<p>Since the first person is the head, you must confirm it in this question as follows: "Is Sofia the head?". For the other people ask the question including the word "head": "What is the relationship of Miguel with the head?"</p>
<p>When the informant did not identify anyone as head, circle the code 1 for the first person and ask the relationship with respect to that person.
