Section 0450: Household Consent
Interviewer: you will select an informant to complete the remaining sections of the household questionnaire and a respondent for the individual questionnaire at his point. The household informant and individual respondent may or may not be the same person. We want to interview all persons aged 50 years and older present in the household on the day of the interview, but someone younger than 50 may complete the household questionnaire.
A. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELECTING RESPONDENT FOR HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONNAIRE
INTERVIEWER: For the Household Informant, choose the person in the household most knowledgeable about the household and household members' health status, employment, financial condition, expenditures and health insurance. Several persons in the household may have to be spoken to in order to determine this, but the most knowledgeable should be identified and coded in Q0451. The person identified here may be different from the person chosen to complete the individual questionnaire.
