Interviewer instructions

4. Sex - It is important to ask whether a person is male or female when information is being given to you by a third person. Do not infer the sex from the name or names of the person. Bear in mind that some names are given to both males and females and can be misleading in this respect e.g. Kafui, Dela. Some people also use George as a short form of Georgina and Ben for Bernice.

Shade the appropriate circle according to whether the respondent is male or female. For example, if the respondent is male, shade the circle for male, as shown below.
