<p><svar a="CR00A401" v="CR00A072 CR00A401"><span class="em">Question 2: Sex</span><br /><br />This question is basically for categorizing the population since all the other variables are always classified by sex.<br /><br />[To the right of the text is a form.]<br /><br />You should ask the question to all persons, especially those who are not present. It is recommended to do it to avoid confusion with names used both for men as well as women, or, with names coming from languages different than Spanish. For example: Carmen, Mercedes, Pilar, Leslie, Inti, Michel, etc.<br /></svar>
