Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">4. Bedrooms</span>
<br />This question identifies the number of rooms used for sleeping. Read the question, listen to the answer and record the number.</p>

<p>[Figures are omitted]</p>

<p>Consider that all dwellings have at least one room. Knowing the difference between room and bedroom will help you to make a correct record, so it is important that you identify the definition of each type:</p>
<div class="i1">[] Room: it is a space delimited by fixed walls and ceiling of any material, where are placed some everyday activities such as resting, sleeping, eating, cooking, among other.<br />[] Bedroom: it is a space used for sleeping, regardless of other activities are also conducted.</div><p>If the respondent says that there are rooms that sometimes are used for sleeping, include them as bedrooms.
