Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2"> 5.3 Ethnicity and Language </span></p>

<p><span class="em">P12: Ethnicity</span></p>

<p>This question refers to the Tribal-Group the person belongs to. It is an easy question but can be misunderstood. If a person says his/her parents belong to two different tribes, ask which one he/she identifies himself/herself with. In the case of some Zambians (such as those of Asian origin) and Non-Zambians, write the major racial group to which the person belongs, i.e African, American, Asian or European, then shade the appropriate space.
