Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">6.5 Section III. Characteristics of the people</span></p>

<p>In this section the information of the people who inhabit the dwelling, like the sex, age, level of studies, income, among others, is obtained.</p>

<p>Before requesting the information for each person, copy all the names in the spaces designated for them, and for each person start with the phrase: "Now I'm going to ask about (mention the name of the person you previously noted)", so that the informer knows about whom you will be asking the information.</p>

<p><span class="em">For all persons</span>
<br />[Questions 1-11 are for all persons.]</p>

<p><svar a="all" v="MX10A424 MX10A425 MX10A426 MX10A427 MX10A428 MX10A429 MX10A430"><span class="em">11. Reason for disability</span><br />The purpose is to know the reason for which the people of the dwelling have difficulties completing activities in daily life.<br /><br />This question is only asked if a circle is put around the code of some difficulty in "Disabilities"; in order to do so relate said difficulty with the response codes of question 11 "Cause of disability".<br /><br />Read the text for the question about the reason for disability for each declared difficulty and record the code in the box that corresponds to the difficulty reported.<br /><br />In the boxes of the codes, note the code that appears to the right of each one of the options, which must correspond to the difficulty circled in question 10.<br /><br />Keep in mind that when one person has more than one difficulty, you must have a cause code registered for each one of them.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 99]</span><br /><br />Before noting the cause code, consider the following:<br /><ul class="b1">
<li>Code 1, because he/she was born that way. [This occurs] when the cause of the difficulty is at birth, as well as the causes originating during the pregnancy or in the moment of birth.</li>

<li>Code 2, because of sickness. [This occurs] when the difficulty was acquired because of health problems after birth. (This also includes disabilities caused by addictions).</li>

<li>Code 3, because of an accident. For all the difficulties originating in accidental situations occurring in any place; this could be at work, in the street, at home, or others. This also includes acts of violence, assaults, fights, acts of terrorism, and others.</li>

<li>Code 4, because of advanced age. This includes those who display difficulties whose principal cause is related to the physical or mental limitations and difficulties that come with age.</li>

<li>Code 5, because of another cause. Note this only in cases for which the cause of the difficulty is not congenital or due to sickness, addiction, accident, or aging.</li>
</ul><br /><br />Example:<br />Juan declares to the interviewer that Maria has difficulty walking due to an automobile accident where she can no longer mover her legs; in addition, she has difficulty hearing, because she already is very elderly. Record the information as [codes 10 and 13, respectively].<br /></svar>
