Interviewer instructions
1. Encircle the line number of the respondent. The respondent is preferably the head of the household or the spouse or any responsible member of the household, that is, person who can provide reliable information about the household.
The questionnaire for the demographic and economic characteristics of the household population is provided with 10 lines or rows and each line has a pre-coded number printed in column 1 which is the line number. This number automatically identifies each member of the household. Thus, the first member is entered on the first row with line number 01, the second member will be on the second row with line number 02, and so on.
2. Ask the respondent the question "How many persons usually reside in this household?". If for example the respondent answered 6, check line number 06. This will serve as a guide in determining whether or not all the household members have been listed. As this question is asked be sure that the concepts of household and household members have been fully explained to the respondent.
3. If there are more than 10 members in the household, you will need an additional questionnaire. In this case, you renumber the line numbers of the members listed in the additional questionnaire. Thus, line number 01 of the second questionnaire will be line number 11; line number 02 will be 12; etc. When renumbering the subsequent line numbers, cross out the original line number and write the correct line number above it.
