Interviewer instructions

P03. Sex
Shade Code 1 for "Male" and Code 2 for "Female". Be careful to get the sex of young children right; ask, do not guess. Always confirm or verify the sex of a person against information recorded in P01 before shading. There are many names that may be given to either males or females (e.g. Takondwa), which could either be male or female, even though in some cases you can tell sex by the name of the person.
