Ask: Is [the respondent]'s father/mother alive?

30.1 Enter the appropriate codes in column P-22 and P-23 in respect of the survival status of the respondent's biological father and mother respectively.

Please always probe to establish the reality of the situation.

You must always probe to ensure you obtain the most satisfactory answer.
