Interviewer instructions

Part B: Characteristics of Individual Household Members

1. All persons

B4. Sex: Fill in the appropriate code for the sex of each member of the household in column B4.
Note: You must not try to infer or assume the sex of a person based on the person's name and clothes he/she is wearing. For example, the name Chikondi could refer to a male or a female person. In some cases, young girls could be wearing shorts and so it is wrong to assume that because one is wearing shorts then it is a boy.
