Interviewer instructions
Section 8 - Where individual spent census night
5.89 Question 8.1- 8.2, Where Individual Spent Census Night
This can be a very sensitive question and care should be taken in asking it. You can get the information at the very outset in completing the list of persons in Section I. If however, you have to ask the question at this stage, you could say:
To Respondent: "Were you here on Census Night?" (i.e., the night of April 7).
Of the other members: "Was_____ here on Census Night?"
If the individual spent Census Night in the household, mark "This Household". In the case of a watchman, nurse or shift worker who would normally have spent the night in the household mark "This Household".

If the individual is a usual resident in the household but spent Census Night elsewhere in Jamaica, mark "Another Household in Jamaica," and score the relevant parish at Question 8.2.
Similarly mark "Abroad" for those persons in the household who spent Census Night outside of Jamaica.
