Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="MX90A400"><span class="h2">14. Lists of persons</span><br /><br />After you know how many families or groups of persons live in a dwelling, you will have to list all of the occupants of the dwelling. Read out loud: Tell me the names and last names of all of the persons who normally live in this dwelling, starting with the head of household.<br /><br />If there is only one family or group, write the names of all of the persons who occupy the dwelling, starting with the head of household. It is important that you take into account that there are families and groups that have a female head of household, therefore it is necessary that you ask the informant who is the head of household, so that this is the first person that you write in the list.<br /><br />If in the question about families or groups they answered that there is more than one family or groups of persons that cook or buy their food separately, write down first all of the members of one family or group starting with the head of household and marking this person with an x; then note the members of another family or groups, starting with the head of household, that you will mark with another x; and continue with the subsequent groups. In this way, you will note all of the occupants of the dwelling.<br /><br /><div class="i1">[Illustration]<br />If there is more than one family or groups of persons, organize them always starting with the head of household of each group.<br /><br />So first, I will tell you the names of my family and then I will tell you the names of the family of my brother-in-law, since they buy their food and cook separately.<br /><br />14. List of persons<br />Tell me the names and last names of all of the persons who normally live in this dwelling, starting with the head of household.<br /><br />If there is more than one family or groups of persons, put them in order always starting with the head of household of each group.<br /><br />Person 1 Jesus Molina Flores head of household x<br />Person 2 Maria Galicia de Molina<br />Person 3 Raul Molina Galicia<br />Person 4 Rene Molina Flores head of household x<br />Person 5 Rocio Torres de Molina<br />Person 6 Fernando Molina Flores<br />Person 7<br />Person 8<br />Person 9<br />Person 10<br /><br />If there are more than ten persons in the dwelling, use another questionnaire, continue with the list, and ask the questions for each person.<br />[End of illustration]</div><br /><br />Once you have completed the list, check that the number of persons on the list is the same as the number of persons declared in the question "Number of persons in the dwelling". If they are not the same, clear up the difference with the informant and make the necessary corrections.<br /><br />Be sure that you put all of the persons on the list who normally live in the dwelling and continue with the interview.<br /></svar>
