Interviewer instructions
<span class="h1">15. Extended questionnaire</span>
<br />This section of the questionnaire contains the questions you must apply in the households you have registered as: Single house on the land, house sharing land with other(s); duplex house; apartment in a building; housing unit in neighborhood or tenement and housing unit in the rooftop room of a building. That is, with classes 1 to 6 of private housing unit class.</p>

<p><span class="em">III. Cooking conditions</span>
<br /><span class="ital">7. Place where they cook</span>
<br />This question identifies the space used to prepare or heat food.</p>

<p>Read the question mentioning each option until the respondent answers affirmatively and select the code that corresponds.</p>

<p>The inside-the-housing unit option is chosen when the stove or cooking stove used to prepare or heat food is located in a space or room within the housing unit, whether it is an exclusive room, a hallway or corridor on the interior, a round room or a room with different uses, etc.</p>

<p>[Figure omitted: image with text]</p>

<p>The room separate from the housing unit option is when the residents cook or prepare their food in a room delimited by a roof and fixed walls that is separate from the main construction of the housing unit - from the sleeping rooms or living room - but is located on the same premises or lot as the housing unit.</p>

<p><span class="pg">[p. 230]</span></p>

<p>[Image omitted]</p>

<p>A corridor or corridor outside the housing unit refers to a space that is part of the structure of the housing unit, but that is outside; it is not completely enclosed by walls, so it is not a room and, therefore, allows air circulation in said space.</p>

<p>Generally, the roof of the housing unit covers the corridor or hallway and is supported by columns or pillars.</p>

<p>[Image omitted]</p>

<p>The option in a <span class="lang">tejabán</span> or <span class="lang">techito</span> applies when cooking is done in a space outside the house that is roofed. The roof can be of any size and material such as: metal or cardboard sheet, palm, canvas, or cloth, among others.</p>

<p>[Figure omitted]</p>

<p><span class="pg">[p. 231]</span></p>
