5.27 Question 13 - Race

[Image omitted here]

Ask the question this way: "To what race do you belong (would you say he/she belongs)"?
Read the alternatives on the questionnaire and mark the relevant response position, depending on the reply (Syrian/Leb. is the abbreviation for Syrian and Lebanese).
Accept the respondent's reply.
If you feel that you are obviously being misled, do not contradict. Simply make a note in your Visitation Record - Section 4 against that household entry.
