Interviewer instructions

<svar v="VN09A401 VN09A402 VN09A435 VN09A436 VN09A403 VN09A437 VN09A438">Question 1 to Question 7: Ask about all household's usual residents </svar>

<svar a="all" v="VN09A402">Question 3: Is [the respondent] male or female? For household members who are directly interviewed, or present at home during the time the enumerator is interviewing the household head or his/her representative, it is easy to define whether each of them is male or female and hence mark the appropriate small box. However, for small children and persons absent from home, the enumerator is not allowed to use their "middle name" to guess their sex, but have to ask the household head. </svar>
