Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Question 7. </span>How many rooms does the household have, not counting bathrooms, kitchen, hallways or garage?
<br />Ask and record in the correct boxes the given number of total rooms in the household.
<br />Here you include the living room; the dining room, if it is separate from the living room, the bedrooms, the room for music or television, the study room or office, the domestic worker's room; and other rooms that are used to store belongings or things; guestrooms, etcetera.
<br />If a person lives in a room that does not have any divisions, in other words, the space does not have a wall made out of concrete, wood, drywall or any other material, but the room is used for sleeping and domestic use, such as a kitchen, then you can consider the household as having only one room. Therefore, in the Number of Total Rooms, you should record 1.
